Jean-Marie Élie Setbon

About the Author

Jean-Marie Élie Setbon is a French author whose profound spiritual journey from Orthodox Judaism to Catholicism has inspired readers worldwide. Born into a devout Jewish family, Setbon immersed himself in rabbinical studies and wore the kippah as a symbol of his faith until a transformative encounter with Christ led him to embrace Catholicism in 1989. Now a lay member of the Dominicans, he dedicates his life to evangelization, sharing his testimony through writing and speaking engagements. His memoir 'From the Kippah to the Cross: A Jew’s Conversion to Catholicism (French Edition)' chronicles this extraordinary conversion, offering insights into interfaith dialogue, divine grace, and the quest for truth. Setbon's work bridges religious divides, encouraging seekers to explore the depths of faith with courage and openness.
