Christian de Cherge, prior of the Cistercian community at Tibhirine, Algeria, was assassinated with six of his fellow monks in 1996. De Cherge saw his monastic vocation as a call to be a person of prayer among persons who pray, that is, among the Muslim friends and neighbours with whom he and his brothers shared daily life. De Cherge's writings bear witness to the original thinker who insists on the value of inter-religious dialogue for a more intelligent growth of one's own faith.
Christian Salenson shows us the personal, ecclesial, and theological foundation of de Cherge's vocation and the originality of his life and thought. He shows how the experie of a small monastery lost in the Atlas Mountains of Algeria contributes importantly to today’s theological debates.
