One of the leading photographers of our age journeys to Christian communities around the world. His thoughtful observations in black-and-white, provide a magnificent photographic testimony to what it means to be a Christian at the dawn of the third millennium.
Having left his native Iran prior to the Islamic Revolution of 1979, which he covered with great fascination and apprehension, Abbas now devotes much of his energies to probing explorations of religion, seeking to understand why and how religious passion grows. His travels around the world have produced several international best-sellers. His latest book focuses on Christian communities in such diverse places as Jerusalem, Ulster, Lourdes, Mexico, Mali, Cuba, Russia, and the United States, as he looks at modern Christianity from the perspectives of politics, rituals, spirituality, and civilization.
