Christianity and Druze information


Christian Church and Druze Khalwa in Shuf Mountains: Historically, the Druzes and the Christians in the Shuf Mountains lived in complete harmony.[1]

Christianity and Druze are Abrahamic religions that share a historical traditional connection with some major theological differences.[2] The two faiths share a common place of origin in the Middle East, and are monotheistic.[3]

Historically the relationship between the Druze and Christians has been characterized by harmony and peaceful coexistence,[4][5][6][1] with amicable relations between the two groups prevailing throughout history, with the exception of some periods, including 1860 Mount Lebanon civil war.[7] Conversion of Druze to Christianity used to be common practice in the Levant region.[8][9] Over the centuries, a number of the Druze embraced Christianity, such as some of Shihab dynasty members,[10] as well as the Abi-Lamma clan.[11][12]

The Maronite Catholics and the Druze set the foundation for what is now Lebanon in the early 18th century, through a governing and social system known as the "Maronite-Druze dualism" in Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate.[13] Contact between Christians (members of the Maronite, Eastern Orthodox, Melkite, and other churches) and the Druze led to the presence of mixed villages and towns in Mount Lebanon, Chouf,[1] Jabal al-Druze,[14] the Galilee region, Mount Carmel, and Golan Heights.[15]

Druze doctrine teaches that Christianity is to be "esteemed and praised" as the Gospel writers are regarded as "carriers of wisdom".[16] The Druze faith incorporates some elements of Christianity,[17][18] in addition to adoption of Christian elements on the Epistles of Wisdom.[19] Both religions revere Jesus,[20][21] John the Baptist,[22][23] Saint George,[24] Elijah,[22] Luke the Evangelist,[23] Job and other common figures.[25] Figures in the Old Testament such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jethro are considered important prophets of God in the Druze faith, being among the seven prophets who appeared in different periods of history.[20][21]
