Used book – God, the Republic and Macron - Cuisine and confessions, Salomon Malka

From young Emmanuel's personal conversion to President Macron's policies towards Jews, Catholics, Protestants, and especially Muslims, where are religions and secularism heading in France? A biographical investigation, a citizen's inquiry, a shocking document brimming with revelations.

What does Emmanuel Macron believe in? Why does he appeal to religions? What does he really tell Catholics, Protestants, Jews, and Muslims? Does he see himself as the reformer of Islam in France? And does he intend to shake up secularism?

These are some of the questions answered by this unprecedented and exclusive investigation. From Amiens, and the president's adolescent baptism, to the Élysée, and the crafting of major speeches on transcendence and spirituality, via his meeting with Paul Ricoeur, his paradoxical campaign statements, and unofficial negotiations with religious institutions, Salomon Malka unveils the mysteries of a life and the secrets of a policy.

Bishop Georges Pontier, Pastor François Clavairoly, Chief Rabbi Haïm Korsia, Ahmet Ogras, but also, among others, Rémi Brague, Olivier Abel, Francis Kalifat, and Ghaleb Bencheikh testify during this investigation that goes from Les Bernardins to the Council of State, from CRIF to CFCM, from assisted reproduction to surrogacy, and from communitarianism to societal violence, without ceasing to question the links between faiths and the state. What if the religious moment of the five-year term could, better than anything else, decipher the Macron enigma?

An unprecedented investigation. An essential book.
