Anchored in American  religious history, this meticulous research draws on untapped American and British archival  materials. The book unearths new information about Episcopalian missionary encounters  with the Christians of Anatolia, Persia, and Mesopotamia, about Episcopalian support for  refugees from these communities in the early-twentieth-century United States, and about  later Episcopalian engagements with Palestine.\"  -Deanna Ferree Womack, Associate Professor of History of Religions and Interfaith Studies, Candler School of Theology, Emory University\u003cbr\u003eGardiner Shattuck, a well-respected historian of the Episcopal Church, here unravels the  neglected story of the role of Episcopalians in the Middle East-first as missionaries, later as  political advocates who sought to influence American policy in that region's always-convoluted affairs. He is particularly effective in highlighting the anti-Jewish stance of many church members as Israel attained nationhood following World War II.\"  -Peter W. Williams, University Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Comparative Religion and American Studies, Miami University\u003cbr\u003eIn Christian Homeland, Gardiner Shattuck directs our attention to the Episcopal Church's engagement with the Middle East in the 19th and 20th centuries... While there have been recent moments in this activism when rhetoric has been antisemitic in nature, Shattuck reminds us that this is not an anomaly. * Daniel Joslyn-Siemiatkoski, Kraft Family Professor and director of the Center for Christian-Jewish Learning at Boston College., Living Church *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Abbreviations Chronology (1820-1958) Introduction   Chapter 1: Pure and Undefiled Religion: Horatio Southgate and the Mission in Constantinople Chapter 2: Alive in Many a Dark Place: Saving the Christians of the East Chapter 3: Afflicted Peoples: Genocide, Humanitarian Relief, and Ministry to the Foreign-Born Chapter 4: Remaking a Nation: Episcopalians and the Post-Ottoman Middle East Chapter 5: Palestine Problem: Charles Bridgeman and the Anglican Campaign against Zionism Chapter 6: Emotional Typhoon: War and Crisis in the Holy Land Chapter 7: Extinction in the Land of Its Birth: Israeli Nationhood and the Future of Middle Eastern Christianity  Epilogue Bibliography","brand":"Oxford University Press Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49524602306903,"sku":"9780197665039","price":97.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780197665039.jpg?v=1731857424","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/christian-homeland-episcopalians-and-the-middle-east-18201958-9780197665039","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
