Missionary institutions were social spaces of closest encounters between Europeans and various segments of the Egyptian society, during the period of British colonialism. In European Evangelicals in Egypt (1900-1956) Samir Boulos develops a theory of cultural exchange that is based on the examination of interactions, experiences and discourses in the context of missionary institutions.
Drawing upon oral history interviews as well as rich Egyptian, British and German archival sources, a multifaceted perspective is offered, revealing the complexity and dynamics of mission encounters. Focusing on the everyday life in missionary institutions, experiences of former Egyptian missionary students, local employees, as well as of European missionaries, Samir Boulos explores mutual transformation processes particularly on the individual but also on institutional and social level.

Mit European Evangelicals in Europe legt der Historiker Boulos eine methodisch reflektierte und überzeugend argumentierende Studie vor. (...) Eine Stärke des Buchs liegt in der differenzierten Interpretation der Zeitungen-Interviews. Hier gelingt es B., wichtige Feinheiten und Subtexte herauszuarbeiten. Auffallend is auch die detaillierte und ausführliche Analyse von Sauberkeits- und Hygienekonzepten der Missionare und ihre interkulturellen under interreligiösen Bezüge. (...) B.' sehr lesenswerte Studie leistet nicht nur ein wichtigen Beitrag zur Missionsgeschichte und Geschichte Ägyptens, sie unterstreicht auch den unbedingten Vorrang mitmenschlicher Achtung in der interreligiösen Kommunikation.
