SHATTUCK, J., Christian Homeland. Episcopalians and the Middle East, 1820-1958. Oxford University Press, 2023. 304p. Hardback. In Christian Homeland, Shattuck fills a gaping hole in historical studies of American missions in the Middle East, which until now have focused primarily on Egypt, Syria/Lebanon, and Iran and have given little attention to Episcopalian activities. Anchored in American religious history, this meticulous research draws on untapped American and British archival materials. The book unearths new information about Episcopalian missionary encounters with the Christians of Anatolia, Persia, and Mesopotamia, about Episcopalian support for refugees from these communities in the early-twentieth-century United States, and about later Episcopalian engagements with Palestine. -Deanna Ferree Womack, Associate Professor of History of Religions and Interfaith Studies, Candler School of Theology, Emory University (Publisher's information). € 111.42 (New) (approx. delivery time: 14 days) ISBN: 9780197665039
