Why read it?
1 author picked Coptic Civilization as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Many books on the history of Coptic Christianity have very specialized subject matter that are written for specialists. Gabra’s book is a great resource that introduces broad audiences to the Coptic tradition.
