Summary
Adrien Candiard: Fanaticism: when religion gets sick
Dominican monk and member of the Dominican Institute for Oriental Studies (Ideo), priest and theologian Adrien Candiard gives a deeper insight into the origin, understanding and treatment of fanaticism in this book. Fanaticism is not a consequence of God's excessive presence, but on the contrary, a sign of his absence, the author points out. In order to free yourself from this blind and rapturous devotion to a goal, the author suggests ways to get out of this slavery, and calls for three steps; personal conversion, interreligious dialogue and prayer in silence.
