Summary/Abstract: He who delves into the writings of St. Gregory Palamas and strives to understand the meaning of his theology, cannot fail to remain, at one point, amazed by the beauty of such inspired and enlightened thinking, contemplating the richness of Godʼs work through the people who are opening themselves to him with all their being. Meeting Saint Gregory Palamas through his writings and knowing his life will always raise the question: how did a man manage to reach such an experience of spiritual life? How did he enlarge his heart to accommodate so much light of divine grace? What were the important moments in his life that brought him so close to God, but, above all, who were the people who shaped the personality of the great Thessalonian hierarch throughout his life?
