Gibran's biographers, Bushrui and Jenkins, sas that "although Gibran was a Maronite Christian, his writings through the years reflect his desire to merge the Sufi Muslim tradition with the Christian mystical heritage of his background.''
Whatever that means...

It means that his writings are occultic, with Christian and Islamic overtones. The Sufi are to Islam what Kaballah is to Judaism.
