Arab Christians in Israel

Many resources could be found dealing with the status of Arab Christians in Israel. However, only a few of them could be considered comprehensive and up-to-date. This has been confirmed by a recent mapping carried out by Diyar Consortium. This book aims at creating a reliable database that is essential in developing a shared, comprehensive and ecumenical strategic vision for Christian support in Israel, so that Christianity survives and thrives.This book includes the most comprehensive data to date about the Arab Christian presence in Israel. This data includes detailed statistics and charts related to religion, birth rates, locality, denomination, age groups, gender, level of education and employment, in addition to a comprehensive directory of all parishes, church-related organizations and Christian institutions in Israel. The Nakba effect on the Arab Christians in Palestine, represented here in numbers and figures, clearly shows that 1948 represented without any doubt a real catastrophe for the Palestinian Christian community.
