Father Nil soon discovers a previously unpublished account of the Nazarenes, a community excluded from the official Church by Peter and Paul, which appears to have given birth to Islam.

      Michel a 21 ans lorsqu'il décide de renoncer au monde et de devenir moine. Sa vie en tant que frère Irénée dure vingt ans. Dans ce livre, il invite le lecteur à découvrir la vie strictement régulée derrière les murs du monastère. Il décrit le quotidien des moines, leur existence dans le silence du vœu de silence, leur solitude et leur rapport à la sexualité. Alors que Michel tente de mettre en œuvre des réformes au sein de son ordre, il doit se rendre à l'évidence que les structures médiévales de celui-ci sont impénétrables. Finalement, il devient trop gênant pour l'Église.
