This book wasn't quite what I was expecting -- rather than a dense tome packed with historical and theological facts, it's actually an oversize paperback book of photographs of Coptic Christians and their activities.

This beautifully illustrated book focuses on the religious practices and social life of Coptic Christians, a group that lives primarily in Egypt and dates back to the original Christian communities of the world.
