With the blessing of His Most Reverend Father Archbishop Calinic, under the aegis of Crimca Publishing House of the Archdiocese of Suceava and Rădăuților, the volume Crucifixion of the Emperor of Slava has seen the light of day. The Incredible History and the Sublime Mystery of the Holy Passion, signed by Eugenia Scarvelis Constantinou, Doctor in the History of Biblical Interpretation at Laval University in Quebec.
Realized in deosibite graphical conditions, the work - as Arch. Conf. Univ. Dr. Alexandru Mihăilă, the preface of the Romanian edition - „discusses at length the foundation of faith in the Resurrection, that is, the teaching about the cross. Being a law graduate, the presbyter Constantinou is very attentive to the legal aspects of the trial brought against the Savior, to the legal basis of His execution through the participation of the Jewish and Roman authorities. But without the crucifixion the Resurrection is not possible. The theology of the cross was for the ancients and for us today a challenge to logic. As the author writes, «Christians had faith in spite of the cross, not because of it». But an understanding of the context of the crucifixion, especially of the ancient theological theological meanings of sacrifice, atonement, curse, offers precisely the justification of the principles of faith by assuming the orthodox phronema”.
At the same time, we point out that the volume benefits from the printed cant, and the iconographic representations used in this regard illustrate the cycle of the Holy Passion of the Savior Christ, the source of origin being the iconography of the Monastery of Balinesti, Suceava County.
