Description: Narrow Gate Churches: The Christian Presence in the Holy Land Under Muslim and Jewish Rule Trade Paperback To protect their ancient churches from desecrating marauders on horseback, worshipers in the Holy Lands centuries ago sealed off most of their doors to keep the invaders outside their sacred halls, so the term, "narrow gate churches" began to be used to describe Christian churches in the land of our saviors birth. This history of how Christians have survived for two millennia under stressful conditions is a tribute to the faith of the remnant community which has rather miraculously survived under hostile regimes and straitened conditions. Noam Chomsky has noted "the unusual, perhaps unique credibility" of Oxford-educated Atallah Mansours account, "given his reputation, background and access to sources." Filled with fascinating anecdotes and informed analysis, this timely history is an important contribution to the discussion of how Christians and Arabs should be treated in the land of their birth.
