From the Holy Mountain
by Dalrymple, William
From the Holy Mountain is a 1997 historical travel book by William Dalrymple. Dalrymple's third book From the Holy Mountain: A Journey in the Shadow of Byzantium (1997) saw him trace the ties of Eastern Orthodox congregations scattered in the Middle East to their ancient origins; it also deals with the question of how they have fared over centuries of Islamic rule and the complex relationship of Islam and Christianity in the Middle East.

Description:
Dalrymple's fascinating description of early Christian influence in the Middle East, as discovered by re-tracing the travels of two first century monks, through Turkey, Beirut, Israel and Egypt.
Highly scholarly and vastly amusing, this elegy to the slow death of Eastern Christianity from the effects of modern warfare and Islamic fundamentalism is Dalrymple's monumental third work.
