God and Man. History of Salvation\u201d took place at the German College in the Vatican. The book was published in the Italian language by Accademia \u201cSapientia et Scientia\u201d<\/em> in collaboration with the Publishing House of the Moscow Patriarchate and the Vatican Publishing House.<\/p>\n
Presenting the book at the ceremony were Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk, chairman of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate, and Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig M\u00fcller, Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.<\/p>\n
As Metropolitan Hilarion noted in his speech, the book \u201cA Pastor\u2019s Word. God and Man. History of Salvation\u201d is a collection of talks given by Metropolitan Kirill (now Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia) within the framework of his programme on Russian TV. \u201cThis book enables a reader to hear the voice of a pastor, for whom his service to Christ and His Church is of utmost importance,\u201d the hierarch said, \u201cIn these talks we often hear the voice of Christ Himself, since many programmes were filmed in the Holy Land.\u201d<\/p>\n
The DECR chairman expressed his certainty that the book would find a lively response among the Italian readers, since, initially intended for the Russian audience, it speaks about eternal and universal truths in plain modern language. \u201cEveryone will feel, with what love and care His Holiness addresses our contemporaries,\u201d Metropolitan Hilarion continued.<\/p>\n
To conclude his speech, the DECR chairman expressed his hope that the presentation of His Holiness Patriarch Kirill\u2019s book in the Vatican would promote dialogue and mutual understanding between the Eastern and the Western Christian traditions.<\/p>\n
In his address, Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig M\u00fcller emphasized the importance of His\u00a0Holiness Patriarch Kirill\u2019s book for today\u2019s European society. As Cardinal M\u00fcller noted, His Holiness\u2019 most significant thought is that love alone can restore unity between Christians.<\/p>\n
