..."This book, as all the works of Father Antonios Alevisopoulos, betrays a soul ablaze with zeal for Ortho-doxy, for that part of Christianity which down through the ages — despite the fearful attacks of its enemies — remained holy and unblemished.
For a long time now, Father Alevisopoulos' name has been known to us, and we now rejoice since this book brings him near to us and reveals to us all the richness of his spiritual depth.
God has always preserved unto Himself a remnant, a holy portion, great men, in order to lead truth to its final and complete victory. Father Antonios is numbered among them and our hearts are filled with joy and hope, seeing that Holy Orthodoxy always has its champions. The value of this book will surely be incalculable, and we present it to our Orthodox faithful as a special blessing of God. We congratulate all who laboured: the author, the translator and the publisher."
Protopresbyter Dimitru Staniloae
