En gripande berättelse som bidrog till att Gibrans bok "Rebelliska andar" brändes i Beirut då både kyrkan och staten betraktade den som en fara för landet. Gibrans fördömande av den tidens orättvisor i Libanon ledde till att han landsförvisades och bannlystes av kyrkan.

Khalil Gibrans poetisches Evangelium der Menschlichkeit Er kam nicht mit Donnerworten, nicht mit Feuer in den Augen. Der Jesus, den Khalil Gibran beschreibt, ist kein Richter - sondern ein Bruder. Kein ferner Gott - sondern ein Gegen ber. In "Jesus, der Menschensohn" begegnet uns der Nazarener nicht als Dogma, sondern als lebendige Erinnerung. 77 fiktive Stimmen - Freunde, Fremde, Zweifler, Geliebte - erz hlen in inneren Monologen von ihrer Begegnung mit Jesus. Sie alle sehen ihn anders. Sie erz hlen nicht von Wundern, sondern von Blicken. Nicht von Gesetzen, sondern von Ber hrungen. Aus dieser Vielstimmigkeit entsteht ein Bild, das nicht festgelegt, sondern atmend ist - ein lebendiges Mosaik der Menschlichkeit. Khalil Gibran, einer der gro en spirituellen Dichter des 20. Jahrhunderts, schafft mit diesem sp ten Werk einen Raum der Offenheit. Sein Jesus spricht nicht - er wird betrachtet. Und in dieser Betrachtung offenbart sich mehr als ein Glaubensbild: Es zeigt sich eine Wahrheit, die jenseits von Kirchenmauern liegt. Gibrans Sprache ist wie ein leiser Gesang: warm, klar, voller Andacht. Ein jedes Kapitel ist wie ein Fenster in eine Seele - und durch alle Fenster f llt Licht. Wer "Jesus, der Menschensohn" liest, begegnet keinem theologischen Konzept, sondern einem inneren Ruf. Es ist das stille Evangelium der Verbundenheit. Ein Buch f r Suchende, f r Fragende, f r alle, die dem Heiligen im Menschlichen n herkommen wollen. ber Khalil Gibran "Khalil Gibran ber hrt mit seinen Worten die tiefsten Seiten des Herzens. Seine Sprache ist nicht blo sch n - sie ist wahr." - Indira Gandhi "Gibrans Werk ist so universell, dass es alle Grenzen berwindet - Zeit, Kultur, Religion. Er spricht mit der Stimme der Menschlichkeit." - Salma Hayek "Wenn ein Wort Seele hat, dann ist es ein Wort von Khalil Gibran. Er schrieb nicht f r die Zeit, sondern f r das Herz." - Paulo Coelho "Wenn du wissen willst, was Liebe, Freiheit und Glaube bedeuten k nnen - lies Gibran." - Bono vo

This book contains two of the best known works of Khalil Gibran. Kahlil Gibran was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, also considered a philosopher although he himself rejected the title.Gibran discussed ""such themes as religion, justice, free will, science, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and death"" in his writings, which were ""characterized by innovation breaking with forms of the past, by symbolism, an undying love for his native land, and a sentimental, melancholic yet often oratorical style."" About his language in general (both in Arabic and English), Salma Khadra Jayyusi remarks that ""because of the spiritual and universal aspect of his general themes, he seems to have chosen a vocabulary less idiomatic than would normally have been chosen by a modern poet conscious of modernism in language."" According to Jean Gibran and Kahlil G. Gibran, ""Ignoring much of the traditional vocabulary and form of classical Arabic, he began to develop a style which reflected the ordinary language he had heard as a child in Besharri and to which he was still exposed in the South End of Boston]. This use of the colloquial was more a product of his isolation than of a specific intent, but it appealed to thousands of Arab immigrants.""
