Hey Medgine, thanks for sharing. I also was unfamiliar with the history of Lebanon and their Christian faith – why I elected to take this course as one of my electives! I, like you, found it very interesting to learn from Dr. Habib Malik – someone related to such an influential person in the Lebanese sociopolitical realm. The periods of peaceful coexistence among different faiths was a surprise to me as well because it goes against my preconceived perceptions of the geographical area.
