Abstract

RESEARCH ON CHRISTIANITY IN THE MUSLIM WORLD OF THE MIDDLE EAST Hilary Kilpatrick There was a time when the Orthodox' of the Balkans were the most exotic Christians Western Europeans were likely to meet, and the Ethiopi- an and Assyrian Churches might have been on another planet. Thanks to the extensive migrations of recent decades, major Western European cities are now host to a variety of Eastern Christian communities, and so there is a real need for books which seek to describe the different Eastern Churches and explain their historical development to the interested Wes- tern Christian. And in the second place, the relationship between Christi- ans and Muslims both in the Middle East and in the Balkans provides clues to the understanding of events in these two regions. It is this second reason which has prompted the appearance of Eastern Christians in the World of Islam.2 The book forms part of a theological course of an Open University type. It has three sections. The first part, a general historical introduction, covers the early development of Christiani- ty in the Eastern Mediterranean; the Ecumenical Councils; the develop- ment of independent national Churches; the Church in Byzantium; anti- Judaism
