Augoustinos N. Kantiotes, Bishop of Florina, Greece
Translation and Foreword by Asterios Gerostergios
“Just as St. Basil the Great did in his book Hexaemeros—as well as others Saints and Fathers of the Church, such as Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory the Theologian, John Chrysostom, Ambrose of Milan, Jerome, Augustine of Hippo, and many others, wrote spiritual works using the scientific knowledge of their time to describe the wonders of God in the material and spiritual world—the author of this book offers a new 'Hexaemeros' to the Church and tries to describe the wonders of God in material and spiritual creation in an new way. The earlier related patristic works, the results of contemporary science, history of the world, and life of the Church, influenced the bishop in composing the present work.”
