Motherland Lost: The Egyptian and Coptic Quest for Modernity

By Samuel Tadros

Book Overview

Samuel Tadros provides a clear understanding of Copts--the native Egyptian Christians--and their crisis of modernity in conjunction with the overall developments in Egypt as it faced its own struggles with modernity. He argues that the modern plight of Copts is inseparable from the crisis of modernity and the answers developed to address that crisis by the Egyptian state and intellectuals, as well as by the Coptic Church and laypeople.
