On 31 January 2018, renowned biblical scholar Rinaldo Fabris presented the Romanian translation of his book St. Paul, Apostle of the Gentiles, at the FSP Book Center in Bucharest. Fr. Eduard Giurgi and the biography’s translator, Mihaela Voicu, introduced the text to the assembly in their talks by illustrating how the personality and thought of St. Paul have left an indelible imprint on the history of Europe and of the whole Western world.
They underscored that the biography written by Fr. Rinaldo Fabris is filled with quotes from the Letters of Paul and from the Acts of the Apostles, arousing in the participants the desire to meet the Apostle through direct contact with these texts. Consequently, everyone was delighted to receive a personal copy of the Acts and St. Paul’s Letters as a gift at the end of the evening.
At the end of the author’s presentation, the participants were invited to set out on the road to Damascus–a journey that leads to a personal encounter with Jesus through conversion and love. St. Paul’s hymn to love (1 Co. 13:1-13), which was sung at the beginning and end of the evening, served as a musical framework for the event.
