โฆ Synopsis
Chapter one: "You brought the imam with you" -- Chapter two: Sorrows and afflictions -- Chapter three: Of God and djinn -- Chapter four: Resident alien -- Chapter five: The road from Zarathustra -- Chapter six: Divine condescension -- Chapter seven: Boarderlands -- Chapter eight: Three feasts -- Chapter nine: Et Incarnatus est -- Chapter ten: The house on the cape of olives -- Chapter eleven: From fire, by water.;Sohrab Ahmari was a teenager living under the Iranian ayatollahs when he decided that there is no God. Nearly two decades later, he would be received into the Roman Catholic Church. In From Fire, by Water, he recounts this unlikely passage, from the strident Marxism and atheism of a youth misspent on both sides of the Atlantic to a moral and spiritual awakening prompted by the Mass. At once a young intellectual's finely crafted self-portrait and a life story at the intersection of the great ideas and events of our time, the book marks the debut of a compelling new Catholic voice.
