Kahlil Gibran and the Feminine Divine is a 2017 exhibit at the Telfair Museums which says: "This exhibition features approximately 25 works that demonstrate Gibran's fascination with the idea of the feminine divine. Although he was raised as a Maronite Christian, Gibran had a long-standing interest in ancient religions and mythology, particularly the ancient traditions of Goddess worship. His personal spirituality was centered on the idea of the oneness of all things, and, as described by scholar Suheil Bushrui in his 1998 biography of Gibran, 'the fundamental unity of religions.' His representation of goddess imagery not only reflects his holistic belief in a Universal Spirit, embodied through symbolic female figures, but also speaks to the powerful influence women exerted in his own life."
