Looks at Simone Weil's Christological interpretations of the Sophoclean "Antigone" and "Electra", the "Iliad" and Aeschylus' "Prometheus Bound". This book traces her apologetic intentions and explains the manner in which she recasts familiar Christian concepts (thereby letting them come alive - something every good apologist should be able to do). Has the author managed to convince the reader at the end of this thoughtful and well argued study of the apologetic nature of Simone Weil's project in the last years of her short life? It seems to us yes, if one follows the philosopher in the extreme openness of her interpretations and in her conviction that the light of the transcendent is the only possible presence of God on earth... One hopes that this inspired and well-constructed work will soon see the light in French in order to make it accessible to an even wider public
