«Dieu, un itinéraire» is the philosophical essay by Régis Debray, published by Éditions O. Jacob in paperback (396 pages, in French).
Debray follows the material traces that God has left in the West —texts, names, martyrs, relics— and suggests that monotheism may have been born with writing and the alphabet. From the distant God of Sinai to the one who becomes man, he traces the dissolution of the eternal in contemporary religiosity.
Published in 2003, the work bears the subtitle «matériaux pour l'histoire de l'éternel en Occident», is part of the series «Champ médiologique» and includes a bibliography.
Intended for readers of philosophy and the history of religions interested in the formation of monotheism and its cultural traces.
Jules Régis Debray is a French philosopher, journalist, former government official and academic. He is known for his theorization of mediology, a critical theory of the long-term transmission of cultural meaning in human society, and for associating with Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara in Bolivia in 1967 and advancing Salvador Allende's presidency in Chile in the early 1970s. He returned to France in 1973 and later held various official posts in the French government.
