Middle Eastern and European Christianity, 16th-20th Century
Bernard Heyberger carved new paths in the study of Middle Eastern Christianity, helping to shed fresh light on aspects of the connected history of the Near East that had previously been neglected. His approach to ‘global microhistory’ has focused on questions of space and circulation (people, texts, and objects) and his work has spanned many disciplines. In addition, he has made important contributions to the social and cultural history of Early …
Middle Eastern and European Christianity
Introduction
In 2023, travel between Israel, the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and the rest of the Levant-when the barriers presented by passports and visas do not render it impossible-entails multiple border crossings, flights, and likely interrogations and potential denial of passage.In the Ottoman period, no formal borders divided the territory, although local divisions (official or unofficial) often determined where a foreigner might go.During the Man…
Unsilencing Palestine 1922–1923
This piece presents an interview conducted by Karène Sanchez Summerer and Sary Zananiri with Salim Tamari and Yair Wallach about the Frank Scholten photographic collection (now available with Creative Commons access), discussing the archive's significance and use for researchers of the history of Mandate Palestine.During the turbulence of the period after the First World War, Dutch photographer Frank Scholten (1881-1942) travelled to Palestine wi…
The role of protestant missionaries during the Great Arab Revolt in Jerusalem and South Palestine (1936-1939) – towards humanity
During the Arab Revolt against the British authorities in Palestine from 1936 to 1939, missionaries responded by organizing aid to relieve Arab local suffering, transforming their educational and medical mission to provide immediate relief. This article questions the image of missionaries as producers of expertise, both from a welfare and political activity point of view, in a place—the ‘Holy Land’- where missionary activity was particularly inte…
'The House of the Priest'
Let's start at the beginning, with the startling opening of Nikula Khoury's memoirs, with his assertion that he had lost the materials for his memoirs not once and not twice but three times, because of the 1910 Karak Revolt and the First World War and the nakba. "Here, I have returned yet again to collect these memories and to write them down for the fourth time," he concludes. "All I can hope for is that the luck of this account will not be, thi…
Missions and Preaching
Based on a connected, relational and multidisciplinary approach (history, ethnography, political science, and theology), Mission and Preaching tackles the notion of mission through the analysis of preaching activities and religious dynamics across Christianity, Islam and Judaism, in the Middle East and North Africa, from the late 19th century until today. The 13 chapters reveal points of contact, exchange, and circulation, considering the MENA re…
European Cultural Diplomacy and Arab Christians in Palestine, 1918–1948
This open access book investigates the transnationally connected history of Arab Christian communities in Palestine during the British Mandate (1918-1948) through the lens of the birth of cultural diplomacy. Relying predominantly on unpublished sources, it examines the relationship between European cultural agendas and local identity formation processes and discusses the social and religious transformations of Arab Christian communities in Palest…
Imaging and Imagining Palestine
Imaging and Imagining Palestine is the first comprehensive study of photography during the British Mandate period (1918–1948). It addresses well-known archives, photos from private collections never available before and archives that have until recently remained closed. This interdisciplinary volume argues that photography is central to a different understanding of the social and political complexities of Palestine in this period. While Biblical …
A connected history of eastern Christianity in Syria and Palestine and European cultural diplomacy (1860–1948)
The special issue critically explores, at a micro and macro level, the structural role and religious, cultural and political interactions of the Greek-Orthodox, Melkite and Syriac communities in late Ottoman and Mandate Syria and Palestine. It seeks to identify archival gaps, and to link the study of the micro-scale level of everyday cultural and religious life to the macro-narratives of global change affecting Christian communities, in a connect…

Les archives de l’Associazione nazionale per soccorrere i missionari italiani (ANSMI)
Plusieurs recherches ont mis en avant le rôle joué par l’Associazione Nazionale per Soccorrere i missionari italiani (ANSMI) à l’heure des rivalités impériales en Méditerranée. La richesse des fonds documentaires détenus par l’association reste encore insuffisamment connue, ne serait-ce que pour des difficultés d’accès et de consultation. Cet article se propose de rendre compte des archives de l’ANSMI, de leur état de conservation, de leurs usage…
Pour une histoire connectée du français langue étrangère au Proche-Orient
L’article se propose de revenir sur les enjeux de l’écriture de l’histoire du FLE au Proche-Orient, en ciblant la Palestine ottomane et mandataire, jusqu’aux lendemains de la création de l’État d’Israël (1850-1950). La Palestine – espace ancré dans des histoires concurrentielles de diffusion linguistique et culturelle nationales et où se croisent et cohabitent différents mandats (étatiques, religieux, symboliques, supranationaux) – est un espace …
Christian Missions and Humanitarianism in The Middle East, 1850-1950
From the early phases of modern missions, Christian missionaries supported many humanitarian activities, mostly framed as subservient to the preaching of Christianity. This anthology contributes to a historically grounded understanding of the complex relationship between Christian missions and the roots of humanitarianism and its contemporary uses in a Middle Eastern context. Contributions focus on ideologies, rhetoric, and practices of missionar…
Linguistic Diversity and Ideologies among the Catholic Minority in Mandate Palestine. Fear of Confusion or a Powerful Tool
Palestinian Catholics have always played a major role in the Palestinian political, cultural and educational systems, with an influence disproportionate to their numbers. Instrumentalized by France during and even after her Protectorate of the Christians (1924), more visible for the Europeans during the growth of European institutions in the Holy Land and the beginning of an international Christian network, Catholic Palestinians (mainly Latin and…
