After God - François Clavairoly

In a Europe prey to the rise of populism and identity retrenchment, where fundamentalisms are gaining ground every day, Pastor François Clavairoly, strengthened by a journey made up of various ministries, meetings and commitments, decided to speak out. Celebrating the 500 years of the Reformation, he takes us on a spiritual journey without nostalgia, in the archipelago of the founding texts, rereading both Calvin and Ricoeur. He reflects on the attacks in Paris as well as on the fate of refugees, on ecology as well as on the ecumenical imperative, drawing on each page the face of an unarmed God, and no longer a "God of armies". Finally, it shows that the critical spirit that nourished the Republic and the Enlightenment is twinned with the permanent hermeneutics to which Protestants are attached.
An iconoclastic book, at the opposite end of the pessimistic postures.
An appeal to men of good will.
François Clavairoly is pastor of the United Protestant Church of France.
