French philosopher, playwright, literary critic and musician, representative of Christian existentialism.

Marcel was close to the Oxford Group and Moral Rearmament. He wrote two important collections of stories linked to this movement.

In his preface to the book " Un changement d'espérance" ('Fresh hope for the world' in the English edition), he gave a phrase often used to explain the movement's approach: 'I would say, as I stated publicly at Caux, that what strikes me above all is that we find in it a surprising conjunction of the global and the intimate.'
