Описание:
"'Oman Reborn: Balancing Tradition and Modernization' by Linda Pappas Funsch is a well-documented book on the sultanate that traces the Gulf country's history of independence, its legacy of interaction with diverse cultures and enlightened modern leadership. ... The book illustrates how Sultan Qaboos used his discrete foreign policy to defuse tensions between Washington and Tehran after the Iranian government arrested three Americans in different situations." (Hussein Shehadeh, thearabweekly.com, May, 2018)
"Freelance specialist Funsch, who focuses on the Middle East and, particularly, the Sultanate of Oman, presents a well-organized and detailed analysis of Omani history, culture, and contemporary aspects. ... Keeping in mind the author's very positive and sympathetic perspective, readers will glean much significant information and valuable insight into 'one of a few good news stories to emerge from the Middle East.' Summing Up: Recommended. General and undergraduate collections." (B. Harris Jr., Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
"Linda Pappas Funsch, in Oman Reborn: Balancing Tradition and Modernization, focuses more on Oman's very recent history.

(Richard Schmierer, Middle East Policy, Vol. 23 (1), Spring, 2016)
"Pappas-Funsch delightfully provides the reader with an overarching introduction to the country's rich cultural heritage which then sets the grounds for an eloquent explaination of Qaboos's foreign policy ... . By writing this very important book, Pappas-Funsch has indeed succeeded in reaching a larger audience about the uniqueness of Oman within the Arab world and how it truly stands out as one of the few 'good news' stories to emerge from the Middle East in the contemporary era ... ."

Описание:
This book explores the relationship between the distinctive Islamic beliefs (Ibadism) of Oman and how they define the experience of the church with regards to religious freedom. Oman is a nation with a long and glorious history of maritime trade, stretching from China and India to the East coast of Africa. From sultan to shopkeeper, farmer to craftsman, the citizens of Oman embrace a surprising diversity of cultural heritage ranging from Baluchi, Persian, Yemeni, and East African. Yet, there has hitherto been very little research about Christianity in this part of the world. Through the use of historical research, interviews and theological discourse, Andrew David Thompson analyzes and reveals the distinctive experience of the Church in Oman.
