Biography

Fr Menassa Youhanna (1899–1930) was a church historian and spiritual writer from Mallawi who participated in the educational and theological revival of the Coptic Church in the early 20th century. At the unusually young age of 16, he entered the newly established Coptic Clerical College in 1915, when the college was under the direction of its first Dean, Yousef Bek Manqaryus.
