“Whoever thinks that spreading the Gospel depends primarily on informational mastery and on technical-media influence has come to believe that the essence of the Good News is not the meeting of persons, but the propagandistic spreading of certain ideas. Evangelization then begins to resemble indoctrination rather than an important encounter, and one might then ask why the Word became flesh, when it could have simply been digitally stored on a hard drive.”
(Fabrice Hadjadj. Since Everything Will Be Destroyed, p. 149)
Philosopher-artist… a French superstar of philosophy who breaks all the boxes.
He describes himself as „a Jew with an Arab name, of Catholic faith, speaking French."
Born in France to Jewish-Tunisian parents, he is a former atheist, a punk, and a fan of Nietzsche who, after his conversion, became one of the most original Catholic thinkers of our time.
Archbishop Charles Chaput has called him „one of the best Catholic minds of the last decades.”
In 2014, he was appointed a member of the Pontifical Council for the laymen.
He writes with fire, humor, and a deeply human perspective on everything from technology and sex to death, family, and the meaning of life.
Yes, this man’s journey is anything but not boring.
