This book was written on the occasion of the two hundred years since the Martyrdom of Saint Kosmas of Aetolia (1779-1979). However, this fact does not at all mean that the book you hold in your hands is a "celebratory" edition.

You will find that it offers much and is substantial in the study of the Great Teacher of our Nation. It dispels the confusion surrounding the Apostolic personality of the Saint and highlights unacceptable intentions of modern scholars who sought to adapt him to their ideology.
