This review is from: Discoveries: Coptic Egypt: Christians of the Nile (Discoveries (Harry Abrams)) (Paperback)

This is a cute little book that is crammed with info and pictures. It is an excellent book to start one on serious study of Christianity in Egypt and the history of Christianity in general.
