"""Mitri Raheb is no stranger to those who closely follow developments in the Middle East. This newest book provides a crucial update on the fate of Arab Christians living in five critical areas: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestinians within Israel, and Palestinians under Israeli occupation in the West Bank. It is impossible to understand the modern Middle East without understanding the volatile landscape presented In The Eye of the Storm."" --Gary M. Burge, author of Whose Land? Whose Promise? What Christians Are Not Being Told about Israel and the Palestinians ""In this exceptionally nuanced and insightful volume, the contributors demonstrate that Christians in the Middle East inhabit diverse contexts and face varied issues. While affirming commonalities and collective solidarity, these chapters identify the Christian communities of several countries of the region, discuss their contributions to their societies, and explore the particular histories and circumstances that Middle Eastern Christians live today. This book is a valuable corrective to some more facile and unrooted representations of the Christians of the region."" --Peter Makari, author of Conflict and Cooperation: Christian-Muslim Relations in Contemporary Egypt"
