The Copts adherents of the Egyptian Orthodox Church today represent the largest Christian community in the Middle East and their presiding bishops have been accorded the title of pope since the third century AD This major new threevolume study of the popes of Egypt covers the history of the Alexandrian patriarchate from its origins to the presentday leadership of Pope Shenouda III The first volume analyzes the development of the Egyptian papacy from its origins to the rise of Islam How did the papal office in Egypt evolve as a social and religious institution during the first six and a half centuries AD How do the developments in the Alexandrian patriarchate reflect larger developments in the Egyptian church as a whole in its structures of authority and lines of communication as well as in its social and religious practices In addressing such questions Stephen J Davis examines a wide range of evidence letters sermons theological treatises and church histories as well as art artifacts and archaeological remains to discover what the patriarchs did as leaders how their leadership was represented in public discourses and how those representations definitively shaped the Egyptian Christian identity in late antiquity The Early Coptic Papacy is volume one of The Popes of Egypt A History of the Coptic Church and Its Patriarchs edited by Stephen J Davis and Gawdat Gabra
