In the spring of A.D. 587, John Moschos and his pupil Sophronius the Sophist embarked on a remarkable expedition across the entire Byzantine world, traveling from the shores of Bosphorus to the sand dunes of Egypt. Using Moschos’s writings as his guide and inspiration, the acclaimed travel writer William Dalrymple retraces the footsteps of these two monks, providing along the way a moving elegy to the slowly dying civilization of Eastern Christianity and to the people who are struggling to keep its flame alive. The result is Dalrymple’s unsurpassed masterpiece: a beautifully written travelogue, at once rich and scholarly, moving and courag

From the Holy Mountain: A Journey Among the Christians of the Middle East by William Dalrymple Book Review

Title: Travels and state of Christians in Western Asia (Near and Middle East) in late 1990s.
Date: Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2019
Review: I truly liked this book. Starting in Greece, Dalrymple travels to Eastern Orthodox congregations scattered in W. Asia (Near/Mid East) covering their ancient origins and how they have fared over centuries of Islamic rule and the complex relationship of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity in the Middle East. Once living with a relatively reasonable degree of acceptance, Christian groups in the region even in the late 1990s were already suffering persecution by various factions and occasionally through various governments' policies. A very interesting look both back in time and now, with some predictions for the future which have been pretty accurate. Dalrymple could have made this simply a pedantic series of descriptions, Happily, he did not.

Title: Fantastic Book
Date: Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2022
Review: Wish the title were different, because it leads people to believe that this is a religious book (which it isn't), rather than the history combined with modern travelogue that it actually is. Aside from the title, this is a superb book. Talks about the world of the 6th and 7th centuries, the modern world in the same places, and also the world there as it existed between those two time periods. One of the best, and probably the best, book I've ever read about that part of the world- Turkey, down through Syria, Lebanon, and Israel, and into Egypt. A tumultuous part of the world, always, apparently. Only goes to show that people never change, nowhere, ever. Strife continually for at least 1500 years, and likely far into the future.

Title: Seeking the Oasis
Date: Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2015
Review: Having previously read Dalrymple's In Xanadu, a book he had written in his early 20s, I had two motivations in reading this book: first of all, I was intrigued to see how his writing had developed over the intervening decade; secondly, I wanted to see if his idea of following in the footsteps of ancient travelers would work as well with less well known journey than Marco Polo's?

On the first question I can report that his style had broadened and deepened since his earlier book. In Xanadu had a breathless, almost over-excited air to it, quite fitting for the work of a young author. The style of From the Holy Mountain is more reflective and mature, although it loses nothing of the sense of wonder and excitement of the earlier work.

The second question has a more involved answer. The travelers whose journey Dalrymple is recreating are John Moschos and Sophronius the Sophist through the Byzantine Empire to the Holy Land and ultimately to Upper Egypt in the late 6th Century. They set off on their travels during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty in the Byzantine Empire, traveling through and around the Holy Land. Compared with Marco Polo's journey these travels are almost completely unknown.

Dalrymple chose to start at Mount Athos which he visited to see the codex of The Spiritual Meadow, Moschos' collection of the tales he heard on the way. It is not far-fetched to say that From the Holy Mountain becomes Dalrymple's Spiritual Meadow as he shares with us the stories of the people he met and the places through which he traveled. He then heads east through Istanbul, Anatolia, Syria, through Lebanon, the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Cairo, and ultimately into Upper Egypt to conclude his journey in the Great Kharga Oasis. This journey took Dalrymple nearly six months and during that time he passed through some of the most troubled and contentious areas in the world. In all that time he never loses sight of the primary purpose of his journey which was to chronicle what had become of the Christian communities in the region in the 1500 years since Moschos and Sophronius had passed that way.

Dalrymple's two great strengths are his deep knowledge of ancient culture and history, and his genuine fondness and empathy towards the people whose lives he briefly encounters during his journey. These two aspects of his writing complement each other wonderfully in that he is able to give a sympathetic and knowledgeable account not only of the present situation in which communities find themselves but also to provide insight into how they came to be there. He is fully engaged in the problem of understanding how this region has became a place in which such deep animosities and hatred are daily acted out between three of the world's great religions, the three peoples of the Book. It will come as no surprise that he offers no simplistic or easy answers, but what he does provide is a detailed and insightful account of a region that has become more, rather than less, troubled in the 20 years that have passed since he wrote his account.

The answer to my second question then is a resounding, "yes". In my view this is an even better book than In Xanadu. Dalrymple has taken a less promising theme and turned it into a grand narrative encapsulating three of the world's most important religions over a period of immense historical change. He manages to chronicle the political, historical and religious developments that have turned this part of the world into such culturally rich, but politically and religious difficult place to understand. Reading this book has significantly improved my understanding of the region and its people.

Title: Endangered Christians
Date: Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2013
Review: What an unexpectedly profound, exciting and important book this turned out to be for me. Before I read this book, I knew it was based on the Byzantine journeys of John Moschos chronicled in "The Spiritual Meadow" - a book I recently read and recently hated. Therefore any mention of John Mochos by the author automatically triggered for me . . . daydreams of a tacky ancient TV show entitled "Lifestyles of the Poor, Reclusive and Famous" . . . hosted by your favorite author for hire . . . JOHN MOCHOS!!!

But then this book is real. William Dalrymple is searching for Christians. Well ok he is searching for Christian descendants of ancient Christians . . . in the places John Moschos visited . . . 1400 year ago. The major point of the book seems to be that Christian History in the Middle East is literally vanishing . . . both physically though the deterioration and destruction of churches, monasteries and sacred sites . . . and culturally through the persecution, extermination and exportation of Christian people groups.

So William (the author) goes to those places that John Moschos went to. It turns out, the places were real. And that there are real stories to tell from real Christians living in real places in "Bible Land" which in modern terminology means Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and . . . Egypt. Those places in this book are mainly monasteries. The last of the remaining monasteries. The common theme in the interviews with monks, pious laity and cab drivers seems to be that twenty years is the estimate for years left for remaining Christians in the Middle East. Imagine that . . . 20 years left after 2000 years. . . and this was in 1994 . . . almost 20 years ago . . .

As an "American Christian" layman there was a considerable learning curve for me here. However I can't help feeling awful about the different Christian people interviewed in this book who said something like . . . "no Christians helped us . . . we were alone." I can't help thinking that as American Christians . . . we are pretty oblivious to what is going on in the world . . . if it isn't a situation of complete charity . . . well dang . . . it's too complicated . . . say how did our ball club do tonight!!??

Anyway this is a great read, by an unassuming author that inspired Bruce Feller (Walking the Bible) and I suspect Peter Hessler (River Town . . . other China nonfiction). Unlike Feller, this author begins to pray (p. 287) for the remaining Mideast Christians. I think we should be praying for them too . . .
