global research perspective on the topic starting with James Gelvin on the situation of
Religion and Society in the New Middle East  continuing by Marshall Breger's particular
paradigm on Jerusalem. Daniel Seidemann completes Jerusalem's picture with a current initiative

Sebastian Elsässer about Samir Murqu¿. The continuum is assured by Bishara Ebeid and Johan
Gärde with case from Lebanon  but also with the captivating perspective of George A. Kiraz on
the identity of the Syriac Orthodox community emigrated to US  documented on the basis of
archive collections. A current issue is highlighted by Martin Tamcke about the letter of Mor
