Synopsis

Following his retirement after twenty-five years of medical practice, he proceeded to writing the Sunday bulletins of the cathedral and essays on a variety of topics of interest to his fellow Orthodox parishioners. He was urged by the protopresbyter Steven Zorzos, the current dean of the cathedral, to publish his writings as books. This is the first in which he provides examples of how he has experienced and interpreted his reading of the Holy Scriptures. He provides examples of what is available within them that are frequently overlooked by many readers. Furthermore, the English translations of the Bible are filled with many errors, which can only be clarified by finding the most appropriate English words, among the many available, for translating the true meaning of some Greeks words in the original New Testament and the Septuagint. Many examples of this phenomenon are provided in this volume.

Biographie de l'auteur

Dr. Nasou was born in Kavala, Greece, in 1925. His early work was in medical research at the National Institutes of Health, then as assistant professor of medicine at George Washington University and the medical director and superintendent of the District of Columbia General Hospital. It was at this time that he experienced the friendship of the Reverend Jerome Kotsonis as he conducted him to the library of the Catholic University of America each day for three summers, where he was researching Orthodox dogmatics. Reverend Kotsonis, who was subsequently elevated to the position of archbishop of the Orthodox Church of Greece, taught him a plethora about Orthodoxy in their conversations. The spark generated over this period of learning was fanned to a flame as he served for many years as a member and officer of the parish council and the choir of St. Sophia Orthodox Cathedral of Washington, DC, under its dean the protopresbyter John Tavlarides.
