The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise

Translation of La force du silence: Contre la dictature du bruit (Paris, Librairie Artheme Fayard, 2016).

"Silence is the indispensable doorway to the divine, explains the cardinal in this ... conversation with Nicolas Diat. Within the hushed and hallowed walls of the La Grande Chartreux, the famous Carthusian monastery in the French Alps, Cardinal Sarah addresses the following questions: Can those who do not know silence ever attain truth, beauty, or love? Do not wisdom, artistic vision, and devotion spring from silence, where the voice of God is heard in the depths of the human heart?"--Back cover.
