Overview

English summary: This book is the first to publish and annotate three letters written in Arabic by the Coptic Pope, Mark VII (1769). They are part of a series of correspondence between Mark VII and the Moravian Church, which was active in Egypt between 1752 and 1783. The author presents the background to this correspondence, including the Moravian Church's eventual failed mission in Ethiopia, in introductory chapters. The letters reflect the initial contact between the Moravian and Coptic Churches and provide insights into Mark VII's relationship to the Moravians and other Christian denominations. The latter aspect can also be identified in Mark VII's homily on true faith, which is published in an edited form in the book's appendix. German description: Das Buch bietet die erstmalige kommentierte Edition dreier von dem koptischen Papst Markos VII (?1769) auf Arabisch verfasster Briefe. Sie sind Teil der Korrespondenz zwischen Markos VII und der Herrnhuter Brudergemeine, die von 1752 bis 1783 in Agypten aktiv war. Die Hintergrunde dieser Korrespondenz - u.a. die letztendlich gescheiterte Athiopien-Mission der Herrnhuter - werden in einleitenden Kapiteln dargelegt. Die Briefe reflektieren den ersten Kontakt zwischen den Herrnhutern und der Koptischen Kirche und geben Einblicke in das Verhaltnis von Markos VII zu den Herrnhutern und zu anderen christlichen Konfessionen. Letzterer Aspekt ist auch in Markos' Homilie uber den wahren Glauben, die in einem Anhang ediert wird, zu erkennen.
