The Silence of Gethsemane Summary

The Silence of Gethsemane by Michel Benoit

On a Passover night, in the midst of an olive grove, a young rabbi from Galilee is waiting. He knows that his people have abandoned him, that he will be arrested. Alone with the stars, he relives the events which have changed his life - his meeting with John the Baptist, his stay in the desert, followed by his two years of wandering - and reiterates his personal message to the world, a message which was misunderstood by his followers, rejected by the authorities and ultimately led to his betrayal and downfall.

About Michel Benoit

Religious scholar and novelist Michel Benoit was born in Madagascar in 1940 (then a French colony). In 1962, having studied Biochemistry under Nobel Prize winner Jacques Monod and obtained a PhD in Pharmacology, he entered the Benedectine 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.
