The Commented Bible

Summary/Abstract: The article evokes the collaboration with the writer and hierarch Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania in the revision of the Bible. Father Anania’s activity is characterized by a perfect twinning between cult and culture. During his work on the Bible, he did not refuse any invitation, did not neglect the appearance of other works, and did not diminish in any way the responsibilities and concerns of his pastoral care. Working visits, interviews and collaborations, liturgy and sermon did not suffer from delays, improvisation or haste. Compared to the writing activity, working on the Bible becomes all the more difficult as it does not allow you to do it anywhere, except in the laboratory equipped for this activity. It’s a liturgy you can’t do outside the church. From Văratec, the biblical workshop was transferred to Cluj, in the episcopate building, then from here, it was transferred further, in the tranquility of Nicula Monastery, where the final shape of the Holy Book will be completed. Father Anania’s effort to compile the commented Bible is a true and daring escalade of a high peak of faith.
