An Interconfessional History of Missions in the Middle East and North Africa

Ottoman History Podcast

Episode 537

with Norig Neveu, Karène Sanchez Summerer, and Annalaura Turiano

hosted by Andreas Guidi

Since the 19th century, different forms of missionary activities and preaching have been shaping the role of religion within the societies of the Middle East and North Africa. Not only Christian congregations, but also Muslim and Jewish institutions participated in this phenomenon. Emulation but also competition existed across confessional boundaries and intersected with colonialism, wars, emancipation projects, and state authority. In this episode, we approach the galaxy of missions and preaching in the longue durée with the three editors of a recently published edited volume, Missions and Preaching: Connected and Decompartmentalised Perspectives from the Middle East and North Africa (19th-21st Century).

This episode is cross-listed with The Southeast Passage.
