Jesus: His Purest Word
Unfolding the Word of God Through the Original Greek Text by Dr. Solon Georghiou
My late father wrote this book in the final years of his life. I honor him by publishing it on faith blog as I work on publishing it in a hardback book. Substack does not contain space to publish it as a whole online.
He was a professor of Physics at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He understood two things well, science and faith. Come along his journey unfolding the Scripture through the original Greek text.
Professor Emeritus Solon Georghiou earned a bachelor’s in physics from the University of Athens in 1962, followed by a M.S. (1965) and Ph.D. (1968) in photo-physics from the University of Manchester. Before joining the UT Physics faculty in 1973, he was a postdoc at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and at Johns Hopkins University. Georghiou’s specialty was molecular biophysics, with special emphasis on the physical properties of DNA. He was known as a passionate teacher, and by his own estimate he taught well over 3,000 students, many of them pre-med majors. He once said that “if we wanted to have a family doctor who was not my student, we had to work hard.” To transfer knowledge, he believed, was sacred. He also served as academic advisor in the department for two decades. He retired from the physics faculty in spring 2007. Since then, he embarked on translating Biblical texts from the ancient Greek, which he was fluent in from his education growing up in Cyprus.
In his retirement years, he completed his book honoring his faith in his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. From studying Scripture in the Ancient Greek text, he was enlightened to know God and walk closely with Him. He was survived by his wife, Georgia Georghiou, two children, Alexia & Christos and grandson Stavros.
