Christian Orientalism Bibliography
Last Updated: April 2021
This bibliography contains sources that have grown out of the decades long debate over Orientalism sparked primarily by the work of Edward W. Said. The sources here have specifically to do with "Christian Orientalism," that is the role of the Christian religion as a factor in Orientalism both in the West and in the rest of the world. Generally, only sources that are directly related to the subject of Christian Orientalism are included while sources concerned with such questions as the relationship of Christianity to imperialism are not unless they refer clearly and importantly to Orientalism. The bibliography was first posted online in October 2015.
