Matti Moosa's The Maronites in History, published by Syracuse University Press in 1986, is a scholarly history of the Maronite Christian church, tracing its origins, its relationship with Rome and its place within the wider Syriac Christian tradition, written to address what Moosa identified as a Maronite crisis of identity in the modern Lebanese context. Its strength is that it is a peer-reviewed university press monograph reviewed in major journals including the International Journal of Middle East Studies. Its limit is that it takes an interpretive position on contested questions of Maronite origins and identity, so a claim resting on a disputed point should be checked against other Maronite and Syriac Christian scholarship as well.
