About this listen

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.

This story is amazing. As a scientist with only a little knowledge of philosophy i found this book to be an incredibly helpful summary of the development of thought which has influenced contemporary ideas and practices. As a a cradle Catholic I found Sohrab’s journey from atheism to the bosom of the Catholic Church to be inspiring and uplifting. Thank you for writing this book!

Inspiring, uplifting.
