À propos de cet audio
Michael O'Brien presents a thrilling apocalyptic novel about the condition of the Roman Catholic Church at the end of time. It explores the state of the modern world, and the strengths and weaknesses of the contemporary religious scene, by taking his central character, Father Elijah Schäfer, a Carmelite priest, on a secret mission for the Vatican which embroils him in a series of crises and subterfuges affecting the ultimate destiny of the Church.
Father Elijah is a convert from Judaism, a survivor of the Holocaust, a man once powerful in Israel. For twenty years he has been "buried in the dark night of Carmel" on the mountain of the prophet Elijah. The Pope and the Cardinal Secretary of State call him out of obscurity and give him a task of the highest sensitivity: to penetrate into the inner circles of a man whom they believe may be the Antichrist. Their purpose: to call the Man of Sin to repentance, and thus to postpone the great tribulation long enough to preach the Gospel to the whole world.
In this richly textured tale, Father Elijah crosses Europe and the Middle East, moves through the echelons of world power, meets saints and sinners, presidents, judges, mystics, embattled Catholic journalists, faithful priests and a conspiracy of traitors within the very House of God. This is an apocalypse in the old literary sense, but one that was written in the light of Christian revelation.

A Prophetic Masterpiece of Faith and Courage
Father Elijah is a richly woven spiritual thriller set in the not-so-distant future, blending elements of political intrigue, apocalyptic prophecy, and profound Catholic mysticism. At the heart of the novel is Father Elijah Schäfer, a humble Carmelite monk and Holocaust survivor, who is called from his monastic life by the Vatican to confront the rise of a charismatic world leader—one who may be the Antichrist.
What makes this book so compelling is not just the suspense or the global stakes, but the depth of its spiritual reflection. O’Brien invites the reader into the internal world of a man striving to remain faithful in a time of great deception. Father Elijah’s humility, prayer life, and struggle with doubt make him a deeply relatable character, even as he’s called to play a role in cosmic events.
The writing is lyrical yet accessible, and it’s filled with moments that stirred my heart and made me pause in contemplation. It’s rare to find a novel that feels like both a page-turner and a retreat for the soul.
What resonated most was how the book portrays evil not as something obviously monstrous, but subtle, seductive, and cloaked in light. And yet, hope and grace run deeper still. This is a novel that strengthened my faith while keeping me hooked to the very end.
