This book offers a fresh narrative of the encounters of this minority Protestant community with American missionaries, Eastern churches and Muslims at the height of the Nahda, from 1860 to 1915. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on rare Arabic publications, it challenges historiography that focuses on Western male actors. Instead it shows that Syrian Protestant women and men were agents of their own history who sought the salvation of Syria while adapting and challenging missionary teachings. These pioneers established a critical link between evangelical religiosity and the socio-cultural currents of the Nahda, making possible the literary and educational achievements of the American Syrian Mission and transforming Syrian society in ways that still endure today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Deanna Ferree Womack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474436714\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474436717\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Deanna Ferree Womack","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123877245183,"sku":"9781474436717","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_766910c9-f166-4de5-b4e9-09a22a5ba1cf.jpg?v=1687433414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/protestants-gender-and-the-arab-deanna-ferree-womack-9781474436717","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
