Course Description
The aim of this seminar is to explore the history as well as the issues that have left their mark on both Eastern and Oriental as well as Western Christian communities in the Middle East. Living as legal and later as social minorities in this region which is now predominantly Muslim has offered numerous challenges to Christians who strive to live their faith and to maintain their identity in sometimes very difficult circumstances.
