Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This captivating historical work delves into the origins and complexities of the longstanding conflict between Christian denominations over the control of sacred sites in the Middle East, particularly the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The book traces the roots of the rivalry to the fundamental religious doctrines of Islam, which views all non-Muslims as enemies. As a result, non-Muslims are not permitted to construct new religious structures within Muslim-held territories, although they are allowed to maintain existing ones. Over the centuries, as European powers gained influence in the region, they sought to protect the interests of their Christian subjects, leading to the establishment of a system of capitulationsâ"agreements between the Ottoman Empire and European statesâ"that granted certain privileges to Christian pilgrims and religious communities. These capitulations formed the basis of the French claim to the protectorate of the Latin (Catholic) community in the Holy Land. The book explores the intricate web of diplomatic maneuvers, power struggles, and religious tensions that have shaped the conflict over the holy sites. It sheds light on the competing claims of the Greek Orthodox, Armenian, and other Eastern Christian denominations, as well as the role of the Russian Empire in supporting Orthodox interests. Ultimately, the book highlights the enduring significance of the holy sites, not only as objects of religious devotion but also as symbols of cultural and political power. It argues that the conflict over their control is a microcosm of the larger struggle for influence in the Middle East, a region where religious and geopolitical tensions have intertwined for centuries.
