Who was Abraham Mitrie Rihbany?

Abraham Dimitri Rihbany known as Abraham Mitrie Rihbany was an American theologian, philologist and historian of Rûm Greek Orthodox Lebanese descent.

"In debt and nearly penniless on his arrival in New York, he went on to become a respected clergyman and nationally recognized community leader." His best-known book, The Syrian Christ, was highly influential in its time in explaining the cultural background to some situations and modes of expression to be found in the Gospels. It is still cited in both Biblical Studies and Sociolinguistics.
