The book by Agapios Landos "Salvation of Sinners" serves as an opportunity to delve into our historical self-awareness, in the anxious effort to preserve our ancestral reference to what saved our identity, at a time when an entire race had neither a center of power, nor defensive strength, nor knew national boundaries, as it was the offspring of a universal empire and therefore obliged to survive in the historical vortex, with the strength drawn from the reservoirs of its own soul.

In this atmosphere, which no description can adequately convey, Agapios the monk Landos, of Cretan origin, appeared at the end of the 16th century. A man of broad education, he chose early on the monastic life of Mount Athos, where asceticism, study, and writing sharpened his missionary zeal and sacrificial love for the much-suffering people of God...

Simple and accessible language, a complete system of faith teaching, inductive method through examples, are elements that adorn the most beloved book of this harsh period, "Salvation of Sinners"...
