Sacrifice in the Desert: A Study of an Egyptian Minority Through the Prism of Coptic Monasticism
Mark Gruber

Sacrifice in the Desert is an anthropological study of the contemporary spiritual descendents of these monks as they live out their lives in some of the most primitive and remote monasteries of the Sahara Desert.
