| dbo:abstract | - العلاقة بين الموحدون الدروز والمسيحية اتسمت بالطيبة والودّ من الناحية التاريخيَّة، وكان يسود التعايش بين الطائفتين على الغالب باستثناء بعض الفترات منها الفتنة الطائفية الكبرى لعام 1860. وقد اختلط وتقارب أبناء الطوائف المسيحية مع الموحدين الدروز ممّا أدّى لوجود قرى وبلدات مختلطة بين المسيحيين والدروز في جبل الدروز وجبل لبنان ومنطقة الجليل وجبل الكرمل، كما اعتنق عدد من الموحدين الدروز الديانة المسيحية وكان أبرزهم بعض آمراء آل شهاب، وعشيرة أبي اللّمع النافذة. على صعيد المقارنة الدينيّة لا تؤمن الطوائف المسيحية بالتناسخ، وذلك على خلاف معتقدات الدروز، كما أن المسيحيّة ديانة تبشيرّية وذلك على خلاف الدروز حيث أغلقوا باب اعتناق المذهب. في حين أن أوجه التشابه تتمثل في وجهة النظر الدروز والمسيحيين للزواج والإيمان بوحدانية الله. ويعتبر يسوع أو عيسى بن مريم الشخصية المركزية في الديانة المسيحية، ومن الأنبياء السبعة الذين ظهروا في فترات مختلفة من التاريخ حسب معتقدات المذهب الدرزي.

- Christianity and Druze are Abrahamic religions that share a historical traditional connection with some major theological differences. The two faiths share a common place of origin in the Middle East, and are monotheistic. Christianity is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. Its adherents, known as Christians, believe that Jesus is the Christ, whose coming as the messiah was prophesied in the Old Testament, and chronicled in the New Testament. The primary scripture of Christianity is the Bible. It is the world's largest religion with about 2.4 billion followers. Jethro of Midian is considered an ancestor of Druze, who revere him as their spiritual founder and chief prophet. Druzism it is a monotheistic and Abrahamic religion based on the teachings of Hamza ibn-'Ali ibn-Ahmad and the sixth Fatimid caliph Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah, and Greek philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, and Zeno of Citium. The Epistles of Wisdom is the foundational text of the Druze faith. Even though the faith originally developed out of Ismaili Islam, Druze do not identify as Muslim and no longer consider themselves Muslim.The number of Druze people worldwide is between 800,000 and one million, with the vast majority residing in the Levant. Historically the relationship between the Druze and Christians has been characterized by harmony and peaceful coexistence, with amicable relations between the two groups prevailing throughout history, with the exception of some periods, including 1860 Mount Lebanon civil war. Conversion of Druze to Christianity used to be common practice in the Levant region. Over the centuries, a number of the Druze embraced Christianity, such as some of Shihab dynasty members, as well as the Abi-Lamma clan. The Maronite Catholics and the Druze founded modern Lebanon in the early Eighteenth century, through a governing and social system known as the "Maronite-Druze dualism" in Mount Lebanon Mutasarrifate. 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, Jabal al-Druze, the Galilee region, Mount Carmel, and Golan Heights. Druze doctrine teaches that Christianity is to be "esteemed and praised" as the Gospel writers are regarded as "carriers of wisdom". The Druze faith incorporates some elements of Christianity, in addition to adoption of Christian elements on the Epistles of Wisdom. Both religions revere Jesus, John the Baptist, Saint George, Elijah, Luke the Evangelist, Job and other common figures. 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.
