Credits Produced by Al Haines
Summary "The Syrian Christ" by Abraham Mitrie Rihbany is a reflective work written in the early 20th century. This book explores the life and teachings of Jesus Christ from an Oriental perspective, aiming to provide readers, particularly those in the West, with insights into the cultural and social contexts of his time. It endeavors to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western understandings of spirituality, emphasizing the richness of the Oriental background that shaped many biblical narratives. The opening of the text introduces the author's intentions and background, as he seeks to offer an intimate view of Christ's life, explaining that his insights are drawn from personal experience as a Syrian born in close proximity to Jesus' birthplace. Rihbany reflects on how the customs, language, and social values of contemporary Syria illuminate biblical stories, presenting the idea that understanding these elements is crucial to truly grasping the spiritual teachings of Christ. The initial chapters set the stage for a nuanced discussion, leading the reader through culturally specific interpretations of familiar Biblical narratives while highlighting the enduring significance of these stories.
