Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - THE CEDAR THAT HAS NOT FALLEN In the high mountains of Lebanon, where the cedars have grown for three thousand years, there lives a Church that history has tried many times to erase. It has survived Roman emperors who declared its theology heretical. It has survived caliphs and sultans who de…manded conversion or death. It has survived massacres so terrible that observers thought they had witnessed its final hour. It has endured civil war, famine, and the slow bleeding of its people through emigration across the globe. And yet it remains. This is the story of the Maronite Church-one of the ancient Catholic communities of the East, older than most Christian denominations in the world today. It is a story that begins with a fourth-century hermit named Maron praying under the open sky in Syria, and that continues through sixteen centuries of survival, exile, persecution, renewal, and witness. The Maronite Church preserved the Syriac Christian heritage when the Islamic conquest of the Levant cut it off from the broader Christian world. It sent ambassadors to Rome and formed communion with the Pope while maintaining its own ancient liturgy and traditions. It produced saints whose miracles and holiness continue to inspire Catholics around the world. It endured the worst catastrophes of modern Middle Eastern history-the massacres of 1860, the famine of World War I, the Lebanese Civil War-and survived them all. Today, the Maronite Church is a global community with parishes on every continent. Yet it remains rooted in the mountains of Lebanon, in the ancient liturgy of the Qurbono, in the memory of Saint Maron and the saints who followed him, and in the conviction that God's grace is more powerful than any historical force that would destroy it. This book tells the complete story. For Maronite Catholics seeking to understand their heritage. For anyone curious about the ancient Christian traditions of the East. For those who want to know how a small mountain Church became a global Catholic communion. For believers looking for proof that faith can survive anything history throws at it.
