الرواج الذي لقيه كتاب فرجيل جورجيو "المسيح في لبنان" في فرنسا والبلاد الناطقة بالفرنسية دفعنا إلى أن نطلب من حضرة الخوري يوحنا كوكباني رئيس تحرير مجلة الرعية أن ينقل هذا
الكتاب إلى اللغة العربية لتشمل الفائدة من مطالعته من يجهل اللغة الفرنسية وبذلك نلبي رغبة المؤلف.
ولا بد من أن ننوه بالجهود الجبارة التي قام بها الأب منصور لبكي بدعوته فيرجيل جورجيو إلى لبنان وافساح المجال أمامه ليتعرف إلى الموارنة وتاريخهم فكانت هذه الصفحات

About the author
Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu
62books386followersConstantin Virgil Gheorghiu (September 15, 1916 in Războieni, Romania � June 22, 1992 in Paris, France) was a Romanian writer, best known for his 1949 novel, The 25th Hour.
Virgil Gheorghiu was born in Valea Albă, a village in Războieni Commune, Neamţ County, in Romania. His father was an Orthodox priest in Petricani. A top student, he attended high school in Chişinău from 1928 to June 1936, after which he studied philosophy and theology at the University of Bucharest and at the Heidelberg University.
He traveled and stayed in Saudi Arabia to learn the Arabic language and the Arab culture, before writing the biography of prophet Mohammed. The book was translated from Romanian to French and to Persian in Iran and in Urdu in Pakistan. Unfortunately, this book was never translated into English. Its Hindi translation is being printed in India and expected to be available by Jan. 2020, with the Hindi title saying "A prophet you do not know".
Between 1942 and 1943, during the regime of General Ion Antonescu, he served in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania as an embassy secretary. He went into exile when Soviet troops entered Romania in 1944. Arrested at the end of World War II by American troops, he eventually settled in France in 1948. A year later, he published the novel Ora 25 (in French: La vingt-cinquième heure; in English: The Twenty-Fifth Hour), written during his captivity.
Gheorghiu was ordained a priest of the Romanian Orthodox Church in Paris on May 23, 1963. In 1966, Patriarch Justinian awarded him the cross of the Romanian Patriarchate for his liturgical and literary activities.

Very insightful and with many historical references. It made me fall in love with Lebanon. However, for my taste, the book was not very well structured, nor written in any chronological order.

Virgil Gheorghiu treats Lebanon with the respect it deserves, as a Holy land for Christianity. A much needed book that explains Lebanon's role according to God.
In case you were wondering why this small country has been making it on top of international headlines for so long... this is the book to read. Lebanon is revealed with all its God-given glory.
Allow me to quote the author:
"Je pense que Dieu a interdit a Moise de pénétrer au Liban parce que ce pays a été créé pour le séjour de dieu lui-même[...] C 'est donc quelque chose de plus important que la terre promise[…]Le Liban est un temple, c’est pour cela que Moise voulait y pénétré [...] Il savait que dieu habite depuis toujours le Liban[…] Isaie, le prophète savait lui aussi que Dieu y habite […] Le Liban est le pays de quatre fleuves comme le paradis[...]"

Virgil Gheorghiu’s work is a must read, written when Beirut was under constant shelling (1978) his book highlights perfectly the importance of Lebanon in its geographical framework and the presence of its Christian population.
