Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. THE LARGEST EASTERN CATHOLIC CHURCH IN AMERICA - AND THEANCIENT FAITH MOST AMERICAN CATHOLICS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF. In the suburbs of Detroit, in the cathedral of Baghdad, in thehalf-restored churches of the Nineveh Plain, and in the silentruins of medieval monasteries scattered from Anatolia t…o China, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world is stillcelebrating the same Eucharistic prayer it has prayed since thefourth century. This is the Chaldean Catholic Church - thelargest Eastern Catholic Church in the United States, withroughly 224,000 American faithful, and the institutionalinheritor of an apostolic tradition that traces itself backto the Apostle Thomas and his disciples Addai and Mari. For sixteen centuries this Church has lived through eventsthat would have destroyed almost any other Christian community: - The Great Persecution of Shapur II (4th century), whichkilled tens of thousands of Persian Christians- The missionary expansion that reached China in 635 AD andleft an inscribed Christian stele standing in Xi'an- A Mongol golden age where Christian princesses ruledalongside Genghis Khan's descendants- The catastrophic destruction by Timur (Tamerlane) thatreduced a continent-spanning Church to a mountain remnant- Four centuries of survival in the Hakkari mountains- The first union with Rome in 1552 under Yohannan Sulaqa- The genocide of 1915 (the Sayfo), the Simele Massacreof 1933, and the ISIS occupation of the Nineveh Plainin 2014- Pope Francis's historic 2021 visit to Iraq This book - the first comprehensive single-volume English-language history of the Chaldean Catholic Church written forgeneral readers - tells that entire story. It traces the pathfrom the first apostolic missions in Mesopotamia, through thecontroversies surrounding Nestorius and the formation of theChurch of the East, through the medieval golden age ofexpansion across Asia, through the long centuries of declineand mountain refuge, through the complicated three-centurypath to union with Rome, through the modern genocides andpersecutions, to the contemporary Chaldean Catholic Churchin Detroit, San Diego, Sydney, Stockholm, and Baghdad. It addresses what most readers don't know: - Why the Anaphora of Addai and Mari is one of the oldestEucharistic prayers in continuous Christian use- How the Nestorian controversy of the fifth century wasbased largely on misunderstanding, and how the 1994 CommonChristological Declaration between Pope John Paul II andthe Assyrian Patriarch finally clarified it- Why Christian missionaries from Mesopotamia reachedBeijing in 635 AD, eight hundred years before Marco Polo- How the Chaldean community in metropolitan Detroit becameone of the most institutionally successful immigrantreligious communities in modern American history- What survives of the ancient Christian heartland in Iraqafter the ISIS catastrophe - and what the future holdsfor a Church that has now become primarily a diasporaChurch Written for Catholics who want to understand the universalChurch beyond its Western expressions, for Chaldean faithfulwho want to know their own story, for anyone moved by theplight of Middle Eastern Christians, and for students ofChristian history who want to learn about a tradition thathas been overlooked by mainstream Western scholarship. This is the book that the Chaldean Catholic community hasbeen waiting for - and the book that every Catholic withan interest in the global Church should read.
