«Prisoner of God» is the autobiography of Michel Benoît, published by Alma Books Ltd in paperback (300 pages, in English).
Benoît was studying biology with Nobel laureate Jacques Monod when he entered a monastery. After more than twenty years, the Catholic Church expelled him. This autobiography investigates that process, denounces sectarianism and the methods that repress the individual in religious organizations, and portrays life in the abbey: solitude, silence and sexuality.
English translation by Roger Clarke; the work was originally published in 2001 and the author remained in the Benedictine order for twenty-two years.
For readers interested in testimonial memoirs, spirituality and criticism of religious institutions.
