Czestochowa (Agenzia Fides) – For the Year of St. Paul, the Polish Catholic weekly “Niedzela,” the most widely read magazine in Poland with headquarters in Czestochowa, has published another book within their series entitled: “Biblioteka Niedziela.” The book is entitled: “I have been sent to preach the Gospel” – Saint Paul,” and it has already sold 180,000 copies. The book is based on the Letters of Saint Paul and presents the main themes of doctrinal theology from the Apostle to the Gentiles, in the form of a “Theological compendium of Saint Paul.” The text is enriched by photos (taken by the photo-reporters of “Niedzela”) from Rome, Malta, Greece, and Turkey, of locations linked to the life and mission of St. Paul. “The doctrinal theology of St. Paul is extremely important in our day,” Editor-in-Chief Msgr. Ireneusz Skubis told Agenzia Fides. “St. Paul gives us the moral guidelines needed for man in living his daily life. As the most widespread Catholic magazine in Poland, we have the duty of offering the life, works, and theology of the Great Apostle Paul to our readers.” (MF/SL) (Agenzia Fides 6/11/2008)
