Résumé:Defining Lebanon as a model of Christian-Muslim relations seems surprising given its history of sectarian violence. This paper, however, investigates how, in recent years, key religious and political actors (the churches, official Islamic institutions, political parties, Hezbollah, Islamist movements) have attempted to establish Lebanon as a model for both Christian-Muslim relations and the Christian presence in the Middle-East.
