Paperback. Condition: NEAR FINE. 91pp. Perfectbound in printed soft covers. Spine is gently sunned. Scarce and out of print. Exceedingly clean and unmarked copy. 'Gell?rd Imre was born in 1920 after Transylvania was ceded to Romania in an attempt to breakup the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Fatherless before five, he was sent to the…village of his mother's relatives where he was a shepherd. But this 'exceptional talent' (as he was always known throughout his lifetime) was soon discovered. He progressed and eventually would begin a university education in Kolozsv?r, the old Hungarian city and capital of Transylvania. Besides the Unitarian Seminary he studied in four more faculties, unusual at that times, and passing exams in each. He graduated during the Second World War and was sent to Sz?kely-Kerest?r, the second great center of Unitarian culture and learning. All other ministers and the faculty of the Unitarian college had fled. He did everything there: director and sole lecturer in the college, minister to the district. He did brilliantly and was recognized as one of the greatest talents among Unitarians for decades. When the Romanian Communist Party won the elections in 1948, he was faced with life-defining choices. He had joined the party as a Christian socialist, an idealist and theoretician. The college was nationalized and he was invited to be the representative of the Hungarian minority in Bucharest. He chose instead to be the pastor a Unitarian village church. He was immediately expelled from the party. In Simenfalva Gell?rd focused entirely on preaching and pastoring, believing that the divine kingdom could be created in a village by its people becoming fully human--by becoming like Jesus in their actions. Gell?rd Imre had conceived of a new discipline within practical theology, that of the history of the literature of sermons. He became the first (and possibly the last) person to read through thousands of handwritten manuscripts from the founding of Transylvanian Unitarianism in the sixteenth century through the present. his writing were painstakingly gathered up by his daughter, Gell?rd Judit, a medical doctor who had immigrated to Hungary. Over a period of ten years she collected copies of his writings: his sermons, poems, songs, novels, thesis and dissertation. Some things were confiscated at the Hungarian-Romanian border. Finally, in California she got the chance to translate her father's work for the world.' -George M. Williams, preface.
