Christian Homeland examines the history of the Episcopal Church's involvement in missionary work in the Middle East in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and describes how the denomination's evangelistic activities influenced the response of church members to a variety of political and social issues affecting them as Americans during that same period. This book covers topics such as immigration, the Armenian genocide, humanitarian relief for refugees after two world wars, anti-Semitism, the formation of the State of Israel, and the contemporary Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Gardiner H. Shattuck, Jr. is a retired Episcopal priest and historian who has written extensively about the involvement of American Protestants in political and social issues during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
