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.

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.
