A History of Christianity in Egypt
Links for Further Learning
It would be impossible to include every iota of information on Egyptian Christianity, and thus I am including a variety of further resources, from Internet links to excellent books on the subject for you. If you are interested in learning more about Christianity in Egypt, please peruse some of these sources. I am indebted to many of these for the information they provided as I was creating these pages.
