Of these minorities Christians are by far the largest, comprising over 10% of the population in Syria and as much as 40% in Lebanon.The largest single group of Christians are the Arabic-speaking Orthodox. The author draws on archaeological evidence and previously unpublished primary sources uncovered in Russian archives and Middle Eastern monastic libraries to present a vivid and compelling account of this vital but little-known spiritual and political culture, situating it within a complex network of relations reaching throughout the Mediterranean, the Caucasus and Eastern Europe. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed July 5, 2016). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 610 20 Orthodox Eastern Church|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/n50000556|zMiddle East|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85090501-781|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 610 27 Orthodox Eastern Church.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/510210 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 651 7 Middle East.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1241586 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 700 1 Noble, Brittany Pheiffer,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2016151530|etranslator. 700 1 Noble, Samuel,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n2013066585|etranslator. 776 08 |cOriginal|z9781942699088|z1942699085|z1942699077 |z9781942699071|w(OCoLC)936006238 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1242822|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
