Les Maronites – Communauté, peuple, nation
The Maronites: Community, People and Nation (in French)

by: Martiniano Pellegrino Roncaglia 

History is combined with social, political and religious analysis. Within this framework, the author deals in French with the problem of the origins of the Maronites, their early days and their theological precedents. He discusses the beliefs of Jon Maron and the early texts, manuscripts and other documents. The book deals also with the structure of the Maronite Church as an introduction to discussion of the significance of the land of Lebanon and its identity. The tradition and the legacy of the hermits is another major issue discussed in the book. This thorough study analyses the Maronites of yesterday and today, taking into consideration their institutional and individual legacies at the religious, educational and cultural levels.
