Zusammenfassung:A comprehensive study of Arab Protestantism during the Nahda in Ottoman SyriaThe Ottoman Syrians - residents of modern Syria and Lebanon - formed the first Arabic-speaking Evangelical Church in the region. This book offers a fresh narrative of the encounters of this minority Protestant community with American missionaries, Eastern churches and Muslims at the height of the Nahda, from 1860 to 1915. Drawing on rare Arabic publications, it challenges historiography that focuses on Western male actors. Instead it shows that Syrian Protestant women and men were agents of their own history who sought the salvation of Syria while adapting and challenging missionary teachings. These pioneers established a critical link between evangelical religiosity and the socio-cultural currents of the Nahda, making possible the literary and educational achievements of the American Syria Mission and transforming Syrian society in ways that still endure today. Key FeaturesLocates Syrian Protestant narratives within American, Ottoman and global historiesExplores macro-questions of Arab-American relations and gender roles in the Islamic worldBrings Middle Eastern studies into conversation with the field of World ChristianityMakes rare and neglected writings by Syrian Protestants accessible to non-Arabic speakersIncludes a bibliography of primary Arabic source materials by Syrian Protestant womenProvides family trees of Syrian ProtestantsIncludes rare photographs from nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Ottoman Syria
