Ἅγιου Συμεὼν τοῦ νέου θεολόγου ἔργα
Στὸν χῶρο τῆς Ἐκκλησίας, μαζί μὲ τὸν εὐαγγελιστὴ Ἰωάννη, τὸν Θεολόγο τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ Λόγου, καὶ μαζί με τὸν ἅγιο Γρηγόριο, τὸν Θεολόγο τῆς ὑπερθέου Τριάδας, ὁ ἅγιος Συμεὼν καθιερώθηκε ὡς ὁ Θεολόγος τοῦ παναγίου Πνεύματος.
Ὁ ἅγιος Συμεὼν ὁ Νέος Θεολόγος, μὲ τὴν βιοτὴ καὶ τὴν πνευματική του διδασκαλία, κατηχεῖ καὶ πληροφορεῖ τὸν κόσμο, ὑποδεικνύοντας ὅτι ὁ μοναδικός σκοπὸς τῆς παρούσας ζωῆς εἶναι νὰ γνωρίσει ὁ ἄνθρωπος τὸ θεῖο φῶς καὶ νὰ βρεθεῖ μέσα στὸ θεῖο φῶς, στὸ φῶς ποὺ εἶναι ὁ Χριστός.
Μὲ τὴν παροῦσα ἔκδοση τῶν Ἔργων τοῦ θεοφόρου πατρός τῆς Ἐκκλησίας μας Συμεὼν τοῦ Νέου Θεολόγου, προσφέρονται σὲ νεοελληνική ἀπόδοση τὰ ἱερά του συγγράμματα: οἱ 34 Κατηχήσεις, οἱ δύο Εὐχαριστίες, οἱ τρεῖς Θεολογικοί λόγοι, οἱ δεκαπέντε Ἠθικοί λόγοι, ἡ τριπλὴ σειρὰ τῶν Κεφαλαίων (Κεφάλαια πρακτικὰ καὶ θεολογικά, Κεφάλαια γνωστικὰ καὶ θεολογικὰ, Κεφάλαια θεολογικὰ καὶ πρακτικά) καὶ ὁ Διάλογος.

The Church has given the title Theologian to only three saints: the Holy Evangelist John, the Theologian of the Son and Word of God; Saint Gregory, the Theologian of the Holy Trinity; and Saint Symeon, the Theologian of the Holy Spirit. With his life and teaching, Saint Symeon the New Theologian proclaims to the world that the sole purpose of this life is to know the divine light and to be in the divine light, in the light that is Christ.
With the present edition of the works of our God-bearing Father Symeon the New Theologian, his holy writings are offered in a Modern Greek version: the 34 catechetical discourses, the two letters of thanksgiving, the three theological discourses, the fifteen ethical discourses, the triple series of chapters (practical and theological chapters, gnostic and theological chapters, theological and practical chapters), and the dialogue.
