The Christian Church in Kuwait





Hot off the press is the new book by Andrew Thompson is The Christian Church in Kuwait: Religious Freedom in the Gulf.

This book surveys the history and the diversity of Christianity in Kuwait. It answers such questions such as "Is Kuwait in the Bible?", "Who were the first Christians to arrive in Kuwait?"

An astonishing half a million Christians live in Kuwait and this book chronicles their involvement in the life of a nation which in one generation went from subsistence ecomonmy to one of the world's richest states.

It is available through St Paul's Anglican Church and other outlets will be announced soon. The book costs 10KD.
