Her patriarch is in Lebanon. Forty-three bishops and approximately five million faithful make up her presence throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe story of Maron, a fifth-century hermit-priest, and the community gathered around him, later called the Maronites, tells another fascinating story of the monastic and missionary movements of the Church. Maron's story takes place in the context of Syrian monasticism, which was a combination of both solitary and communal life, and is a narrative of Christians of the Middle East as they navigated the rough seas of political divisions and ecclesiastical controversies from the fourth to the ninth centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbbot Paul Naaman, a Maronite scholar and former Superior General of the Order of Lebanese Maronite Monks, wisely places the study of the origins of the Maronite Church squarely in the midst of the history of the Church. His book, \u003cem\u003eThe Maronites: The Origins of an Antiochene Church\u003c\/em\u003e, published during the sixteenth centenary of Maron's death, offers plausible insights into her formation and early development, grounding the Maronite Church in her Catholic, Antiochian, Syriac, and monastic roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naaman Paul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cistercian Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780879072438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePaul, Naaman:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Abbot Paul Naaman is a Maronite scholar and former Superior General of the Order of Lebanese Maronite Monks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cistercian Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":41015369662579,"sku":"9.78088E+12","price":36.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_a3a35355-de96-450d-886a-d20e210e214b.jpg?v=1697557087","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-maronites-the-origins-of-an-antiochene-church-9780879072438","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
