The Coptic Papacy in Egypt, spanning from the arrival of Islam to the onset of the Ottoman era, is meticulously documented in this authoritative account by a renowned scholar in religious studies. This new paperback edition presents Volume 1, where Stephen Davis argued that the themes of apostolicity, martyrdom, monastic patronage, and theological resistance played pivotal roles in shaping the cultural identity of Egyptian church leaders in late antiquity.
In Volume 2, the author explores the intriguing dynamics of the medieval Coptic popes (641–1517 CE). While these popes were often portrayed as maintaining a continuous lineage with their saintly predecessors, they simultaneously embarked on the creation of a new entity, the Coptic Orthodox Church. This church sought to uphold a distinct identity and witness within the evolving Islamic world order, facing numerous challenges and adaptations.
Drawing upon recent advancements in the study of Coptic church history, this volume aims to shed light on the portrayal of the medieval popes through a lens that reveals the religious and social tapestry of their community. By delving into the historical narratives and source materials, the author offers a comprehensive understanding of the complexities and developments that shaped the Coptic Papacy during this transformative period.
This captivating series provides valuable insights into the rich history and cultural heritage of the Coptic Orthodox Church in Egypt, offering a deeper appreciation for the enduring legacy of this religious community within the broader context of Islamic and medieval world history.
