Christianity in Oman : Ibadism, Religious Freedom, and the Church Paperback / softback
by Andrew David Thompson
Part of the Christianities of the World series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book explores the relationship between the distinctive Islamic beliefs (Ibadism) of Oman and how they define the experience of the church with regards to religious freedom. Oman is a nation with a long and glorious history of maritime trade, stretching from China and India to the East coast of Africa.
From sultan to shopkeeper, farmer to craftsman, the citizens of Oman embrace a surprising diversity of cultural heritage ranging from Baluchi, Persian, Yemeni, and East African.
Yet, there has hitherto been very little research about Christianity in this part of the world.
Through the use of historical research, interviews and theological discourse, Andrew David Thompson analyzes and reveals the distinctive experience of the Church in Oman.
