  • Ignace Lepp, born John Robert Lepp, was a French writer. The son of a naval captain, he was actually born aboard a ship in the Baltic Sea where he was brought up by his mother together with his brother until he was five years old. At the age of 15, he joined the French communist party after reading Maxim Gorki's The Mother, a novel which made a lasting impression on him and led him to abandon individualism as he himself recalls in his autobiography From Marx to Christ. Lepp was an atheist and Marxist for many years and occupied important positions in the communist party with whom he later became very disillusioned. He then converted to Roman Catholicism and was ordained a priest in 1941. He wrote many non-fiction books including some about atheism, religion, and later psychiatry, as he was a psychologist and psychoanalyst. He wrote among other books: The Psychology of Friendship, The Psychology of Loving, The Authentic Existence, The Communication of Existences. He also wrote Teilhard et la foi des homme, about French thinker Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
  • Ignace Lepp war ein französischer Priester. Lepp wurde auf einem Schiff im Baltischen Meer geboren und da sein Vater Schiffskapitän war, er lebte mit Mutter und Bruder bis zum Alter von 5 Jahren auf diesem Schiff. Danach lebte er in Frankreich. Mit 15 Jahren wurde er nach der Lektüre von "die Mutter" von Maxim Gorki Mitglied der kommunistischen Partei. Dieses Werk machte großen Eindruck auf ihn, wie er im autobiographisch geprägten Buch "Von Marx zu Christus" betont. Viele Jahre lang war er Atheist und Marxist. Er bekleidete hohe Posten in der Partei. In den letzten Jahren enttäuschte ihn die Partei jedoch und er änderte seine Einstellung: Er konvertierte zum Katholizismus. 1941 wurde er zum Priester geweiht. Er schrieb viele Bücher über den Atheismus, Religion und Psychologie, da er auch Psychologe und Psychoanalyst war. Unter anderem schreib er: Die Psychologie der Freundschaft, Die Psychologie der Liebe und Die authentische Existenz.
