(1937-1996), a French Trappist, was prior of Our Lady of Atlas Monastery in Tibhirine, Algeria. In 1995 he and six other members of his community were kidnapped and killed. From the film \"Of Gods and Men,\" many will know Christian's final \u003ci\u003eTestament\u003c\/i\u003e as well as his and his Trappist confreres' discernment of a decision to remain in solidarity with their Algerian-Muslim neighbors even though it would eventually result in their deaths. However, De Cherg?'s significance extends far beyond the events of his last days. He not only loved Muslims, but across decades he befriended Muslims, learned from Muslims, prayed with Muslims, and appropriated key aspects of Islam. His was a Christian spirituality rooted in hope, conversion, humility, constancy, and what he called the martyrdom of love. In 2018 he was beatified by Pope Francis along with eighteen other victims of the Algerian Civil War of the 1990s. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781626986091\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.38w x 0.50d","brand":"Christian S.
