Synopsis

"Prisoner of God" is a revolutionary testimony against the Church and its methods, against the brainwashing to which many members are submitted, and the power and influence it exerts across a broad spectrum of society. It is also an account of the mysterious world of the abbeys: the monks' everyday life and the way they deal with solitude, silence and sexuality. A brilliant student with a promising career ahead of him as a biologist under the guidance of Nobel Prize-winner Jacques Monod, Michel Benoit decided at the age of twenty-two to follow the path of God and take on monastic orders as Brother Irenee. But after twenty-two years of self-sacrifice and a fraught quest for God, Michel was "discharged" by the Church. What happened? What mechanism led to the Catholic hierarchy rejecting one of its own?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Religious scholar and novelist Michel Benoit was born in Madagascar in 1940. In 1962, having studied Biochemistry under Nobel Prize winner Jacques Monod and obtained a PhD in pharmacology, he entered the Benedictine order as an unordained monk, remaining there for twenty-two years. Because of his ideological non-conformity, he eventually quit the Catholic Church and decided to devote himself to research and writing. Already a worldwide bestseller, Prisoner of God follows the runaway national and international success of Benoit's thriller The Thirteenth Apostle.
