“Surviving Jewel” by Mitri Raheb and Mark A. Lamport is the global story of Christianity in the Middle East, where the Christian church was born and grew for centuries. Christianity is now a marginalized jewel, surviving at great perilous cost, within a turbulent politico-religious conflict. The enduring story of Christianity also accommodates interchange and cooperation. “Surviving Jewel” details the history of the church through the past two thousand years, a story described as “a lost history” by Philip Jenkins. The church of the Middle East is revealed as a precious jewel, still catching the light, sparkling in all its radiant glory. This book has an impressive historico-geographical sweep, highlighting Christian diversity, in a clear-sighted analysis of a journey from past to present, a clarion call to delve into the culture, history, and theology of Middle Eastern Christianity.
