This volume addresses the domestic and international politics that have created conditions for contemporary religious cleansing in the Middle East. It provides a platform for a host of distinguished scholars, journalists, human rights activists, and political practitioners. The contributors come from diverse political, cultural, and religious backgrounds; each one drawing on a deep wellspring of scholarship, experience, sobriety, and passion. Collectively, they make a major contribution to understanding the dynamics of the mortal threat to social pluralism upon which the survival of religious minorities depend.
Eibner deserves credit for amassing quite an array of contributions, particularly with respect to the past, present, and future of Christian minority groups in the Middle East.
