This unique record charts that struggle. Dr Abujaber's vivid and dramatic account is drawn on extensive personal experience of the Christian families of the Levant region. Arab Christianity in Jerusalem is unique in blending invaluable first person research with exhaustive research in international archives, weaving the various strands into one comprehensive yet readable account of the life in the Holy City.
