Nowhere is this more the case than in Egypt, which has the largest Christian community in the Middle East, estimated at 6-10 per cent of the national population. Henrik Lindberg Hansen analyzes this relationship, offering an examination of the nature and role of religious dialogue in Egyptian society and politics. Analysing the three main religious organizations and institutions in Egypt (namely the Azhar University, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Coptic Orthodox Church) as well as a range of smaller dialogue initiatives (such as those of CEOSS, the Anglican and Catholic Churches and youth organisations), Hansen argues that religious dialogue involves a close examination of societal relations, and how these are understood and approached. The books includes analysis of the occasions of violence against and dialogue initiatives involving Christian communities in 2011 and the fall of the Muslim Brotherhood from power in 2013, and thus provides a wide-ranging exploration of the importance of religion in Egyptian society and everyday encounters with a religious other. The book is consequently vital for practitioners as well as researchers dealing with religious minorities in the Middle East and interfaith dialogue in a wider context. 410 0$aLibrary of modern religion ;$v43. 606 $aChristianity and other religions$zAfrica$xIslam 606 $aChristianity$zEgypt 606 $aIslam$xRelations$xChristianity 606 $aIslam$zEgypt 606 $aSocial conflict$zEgypt$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aChristianity$2BIC 607 $aEgypt$xReligion 615 0$aChristianity and other religions$xIslam. 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aIslam$xRelations$xChristianity. 615 0$aIslam 615 0$aSocial conflict$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 7$aChristianity. 676 $a261.2/70962 700 $aHansen$b Henrik Lindberg$01247790 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910153216803321 996 $aChristian-Muslim relations in Egypt$92892393 997 $aUNINA
