<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The 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. Marons story takes place in the context of Syrian monasticism, which was a combination of both solitary and communal life. Abbot Paul Naaman wisely places the study of the origins of the Maronite Church squarely in the midst of the history of the Church. His book offers plausible insights into her formation and early development, grounding the Maronite Church in her Catholic, Antiochian, Syriac, and monastic roots.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Maronite Church is one of twenty-two Eastern Catholic Churches in communion with the Pope of Rome.
