Hey Paul,
Yeah, I learned all about this when I was in Erica Hunter's class back in Uni. I was so much fascinated by what SOAS term 'Christianities of the East' that ever since then I have been longing to travel around the Levant and neighbouring regions to see these communities in action and more interestingly, the monuments and relics of that ancient period.
What intrigued me very much was the [present day] Turkey v Egypt rivalry to be the authoritative stance on the Christian position. I reckon this was fascinating, especially the Christological councils as Erica calls them and the political realities surrounding it.
By the way, does anyone here know anything about the Coptic Bible and its origins at all? Just wondering.
