About

I am Sixty years old. I work as a journalist. I am specialized in North-African Christian History. I'm always trying to reconnect my people who has become Muslim to their Christian Legacy by making them discover their ancestors' life and faith.

​

Everything related to the Bible and to the early Christianity is of interest to me. 

It was at the age of twenty-one that I discovered the Bible. The gospel story completely amazed me. And it has become a passion for me to study them with rigor and depth. I must have read dozens of books on this subject since then, in French and in English.

​

I am a graduate in documentary sciences, multidisciplinary, passionate about history and culture. I taught for more than twenty years at the University of Algiers and in several schools and higher institutes. I directed and supervised various research works and I am co-author of the law on scientific and technical research in Algeria. I have also run several training institutes, mainly in business and management. I have worked for many years as a journalist in the French-speaking written press.

​

Since the 1990s, I have published several books. My publications were first devoted to computers and poetry, then to the Bible. One of my publications dates from March 2017. A historical novel on the love story between David and Bathsheba, "The Eighteenth Wife" published by Croix du Salut in Germany. This book has been translated into English “The Eignteenth Wife”. Previously, I had published the Spanish version of my French book from 2012, entitled "The Wonders of the Bible" with Hermeneia Editions in France.

In 2018, I published a new edition of "Wonders in the Bible", which is an essay; Another book on the history of the Berber people according to the biblical story (The Berbers in the Bible) and a novel entitled "Love in the time of terror".

My experience also extends to the fields of theater and cinema. In theatre, I co-authored a play called "Fear Must Change Sides" with "Suite 42" theater in Berlin, Germany. Other pieces are currently looking for a producer, such as "Monsieur Juba le blond", around the character of Saint-Augustin.

​

In the cinema, I was a technical advisor in an Algerian short film entitled "I promise you", released in 2016 and widely rewarded with several awards in various countries. And I was co-author of the screenplay for the Algerian-Portuguese feature film "Zeus" by Paulo Filipe Monteiro, released in 2017. I also work on documentary film projects with historical content, such as the one dedicated to Simon of Cyrene.

​

In 2020 I released a novel on the trials of Jesus, The Mishpat Iudicium and in 2023, another historical novel, Simon of Cyrene, both in French and in English.
