Reviews
Bantu, building on advances in the study of Egyptian Christianity in late antiquity over the past fifty years, puts forward a bold thesis . . . distinctly Egyptian ethnic identity arose, not in the crisis of Arab Muslim conquest, but in theological disputes with the decisions of the Council of Chalcedon two centuries earlier.

Synopsis
In Those for Whom the Lamp Shines , Vince L. Bantu uses the rich body of anti-Chalcedonian literature to explore how the peoples of Egypt, both inside and outside the Coptic Church, came to understand their identity as Egyptians. Working across a comparative spectrum of traditions and communities in late antiquity, at the intersection of religious and other social forms of identity, Bantu shows that it was the dissenting doctrines of the Coptic Church that played the crucial role in conceptualizing Egypt and being Egyptian. Based on the study of neglected Coptic and Syriac texts, Those for Whom the Lamp Shines offers the only sustained treatment of ethnic and religious self-understanding in Africa's oldest Christian church.
