Publisher's Description
Salvation is a bold, lyrical exploration of faith, reason, and human longing. Scientist-poet George Domazetis traces the cosmos to the human heart, centering the life, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ. Blending theology, personal reflection, and intellectual rigor, the poem insists that revelation and grace shape true knowledge. Domazetis argues that the meaning of God cannot be manufactured by philosophy or science alone but is received through revelation, which reason can embrace and live by. Mercy, love, and freedom recur as life-giving themes: mercy becomes infinite when understood as God’s gift; the male–female relationship symbolizes life’s continuity within divine love. The work draws on Orthodox Patristic thought and biblical narrative while remaining accessible and poetic, using metaphor and image to make theological ideas felt rather than merely argued. Neither sermon nor treatise, Salvation invites readers to wrestle with paradox, to be moved by language, and to consider how faith and reason might harmonize. For those seeking a poem that speaks plainly about God while engaging modern intellect, this is a challenging, tender, and transformative read. It rewards careful reading, promising intellectual challenge, spiritual consolation, and renewed wonder at life’s ultimate questions for thoughtful readers.

“It is very unusual for poetry nowadays to encompass so much so directly; we are more used to poems that look like small fragments embodying a picture of a fragmented world. Here, however, a writer’s personal desire to find the shape and scope of his universe has drawn on the potent orthodoxies of his religious tradition. The intellectual task has heartfelt energies.”
