This is a sobering account of the ordeal of Christian Arabs of the Middle East in this era of Islamist radicalism. Although those Christians are leaving their homelands in record numbers, the author laments, the powers of the West have shown little interest in their fate.

From the Inside Flap

Christianity may have won the world, in the sense of being the most widespread religion in history with the largest number of adherents, but it is steadily losing ground in and around its birthplace. Although Christians of the East are leaving their homelands in record numbers, the powers of the West have shown little interest in their fate. In this essay by the noted Lebanese scholar Habib Malikhimself a child of Christian LebanonMalik offers a sobering account of the ordeal of Christian Arabs of the Middle East in this era of Islamist radicalism.

From the Back Cover

Christianity may have “won the world,” in the sense of being the most widespread religion in history with the largest number of adherents, but it is steadily losing ground in and around its birthplace. Although Christians of the East are leaving their homelands in record numbers, the powers of the West have shown little interest in their fate. In this essay by the noted Lebanese scholar Habib Malik—himself a child of Christian Lebanon—Malik offers a sobering account of the ordeal of Christian Arabs of the Middle East in this era of Islamist radicalism.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Habib C. Malik was born in January 1954 in Washington, D.C., the son of Lebanese philosopher and diplomat Charles Malik. His early schooling took place in both the United States and Lebanon. He graduated in 1977 with a BA in history from the American University of Beirut after doing his senior year at Princeton University. He received his master’s and PhD in modern European intellectual history from Harvard University in 1979 and 1985, respectively. He is currently an associate professor of history and cultural studies at the Lebanese American University (Byblos campus).

He divides his interests between the history of Western thought and the issues and problems of his ancestral home, Lebanon, and the Middle East at large—in particular the plight of native Christian communities, the future of freedom and democracy in Arab societies, and the challenges posed by Islamization. He is the author of Between Damascus and Jerusalem: Lebanon and Middle East Peace: Receiving Soren Kierkegaard: The Early Impact and Transmission of His Thought and editor of The Challenge of Human Rights: Charles Malik and the Universal Declaration, along with many articles, essays, and book chapters in both Arabic and English on pluralism, Arab Christians, human rights, Political Islam, and the Arab reception of Kierkegaard. He lives in Lebanon just outside Beirut and is married to Hiba Costa; they have three children.

Ha Ha!

Really quite en excellent, relatively short piece

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017

Really quite en excellent, relatively short piece, that provides insight into what is has occurred, what is occurring and what will likely occur to the christian population in the middle east. Very useful for a quick and informative synopsis of the why behind the tragedies that you rarely see on the news.

H. Senturk

a denominational paper by an academic press

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2010

Habib Malik, a Maronite Christian scholar, praises and promotes his own culture visa vis the other Christian minorities in the region. His analysis of dhimmitude is simply a short replication of the ones laid out in the heavily critical and biased works of Spencer, Yeor, etc. Again and again, Malik emphasizes the difference between historically 'freedom-loving' Christians, i.e., Maronites of Lebanon, and those Christians who long lived under the rule of Islamic governments and up until the 19th century were in the dhimmi status. At one point, Malik complains how the visiting Coptic priest in Lebanon was so interested in seeing the town where some hundred Muslims were killed by Israeli shelling while never remembering the towns where Maronites were killed during the famous civil war of Lebanon. In some way, he is unable to keep his feelings out in this seemingly academic book by a prestigious university press.
