I.--An account of the Qibt of Misr Copts of Egypt; of their ancient religions; of how they became Christians, and then, afterwards, subjects of the Moslem Mussulmans, with the events relating thereto Know that all people who follow the divine laws of the prophets, on whom be peace! such as Mussulmans, Jews, and Christians, are all agreed that Nuht Noah, on whom be peace! is the second father of mankind, and successor of Adam, on whom be peace! So that in Noah are centered, and from him God most High has brought out, all the children of Adam; neither is there. one from among the children of Adam, who is not of those of Noah. The Nabatheans, the magi, and the people of Hind and of Sin China, do not believe in him, and deny the flood. J Some of them, indeed, hold that the flood hap Translated from the Arabic of Taqi ed-din el-Maqrlzi, ed.

When Noah cried unto us---and well be it to those who bow down themselves--we delivered him and his family from the great anguish; and we made his descendants the remnant on earth." also Sur. xxxvi. v. 104, sq.; Ixxi, v. 1, sq.; xiv. 26, etc. J This is not the place to enter into details; but El-Maqrizi is not quite right.

Two Thousand Years of Coptic Christianity

Pages : 394
Book Description
Christianity arrived early in Egypt, brought according to tradition by Saint Mark the Evangelist, who became the first patriarch of Alexandria. The Coptic Orthodox Church has flourished ever since, with millions of adherents both in Egypt and in Coptic communities around the world. Since its split from the Byzantine Church in 451, the Coptic Church has proudly maintained its early traditions, and influence from outside has been minimal: the liturgy is still sung to unique rhythms in Coptic, a late stage of the same ancient Egyptian language that is inscribed in hieroglyphs on temple walls and papyri. Dr. Otto Meinardus, a leading authority on the history of the Coptic Church, here revises, updates, and combines his renowned studies Christian Egypt, Ancient and Modern (The American University in Cairo Press, 1965, 1977) and Christian Egypt, Faith and Life (The American University in Cairo Press, 1970) into a new, definitive, one-volume history for the Millennium, surveying the twenty centuries of existence of one of the oldest churches in the world.

Book Description
"And He said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'"-Mark 16:15 In the middle of the first century, God sent St. Mark the Evangelist to proclaim the Good News and teach the Egyptians about the true God. He became the first pope and patriarch of the See of St. Mark and the founder of the Coptic Orthodox Church. For centuries, the Coptic Church remained mostly within the boundaries of Egypt, and the majority of Copts, including the clergy, were against the idea of immigration. But there were exceptions: Pope Cyril VI, the late Bishop Samuel, and the blessed Fr. Mikhail Ibrahim supported and encouraged immigration. And in the middle of the twentieth century, the Coptic diaspora slowly began. Within the last five decades, St. Mark continued to carry the Good News through his disciples to the United States and around the world. The History of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United States tells the story of the earliest immigrants who left their beloved homeland to start a new life and establish the roots of the Coptic Orthodox Church in America. In rich detail, it pays lasting tribute to a remarkable cast of individuals, families, and servants, including: -The first pioneers who welcomed each new immigrant as they arrived on America's shore -The early priests who traveled tirelessly throughout the United States and Canada to minister to individuals and families in rented spaces and the domestic church -The great popes-HH Cyril VI, HH Shenouda III, and HH Tawadros II-who provided loving guidance from Alexandria Through the efforts of all these servants, St. George Coptic Orthodox Church in Philadelphia was established as one of the first Coptic churches in the United States, along with others in New York, New Jersey, and beyond. The History of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United States recounts the celebrations, struggles, and growth of these congregations as they maintain the traditions and spirit of the Coptic Orthodox Church into the twenty-first century.
