Great Regulars: Even today, writings or poems which would pass

unnoticed in one country can provoke jail in another. So Khalil the Heretic is worth reading today, both as an example of the early Arabic writing of Gibran and of what attacks on church and state at the same time may cost. It is better to attack one at a time, not both together.

Khalil the Heretic has some of the same structure as the later and better known The Prophet: a person asks questions of the key figure who replies.
