Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian (8).

Commemorated May 8 and September 23.

The Holy, Glorious All-laudable Apostle and Evangelist, Virgin, and Beloved Friend of Christ, John the Theologian was the son of Zebedee and Salome, a daughter of St Joseph the Betrothed. He was called by our Lord Jesus Christ to be one of His Apostles at the same time as his elder brother James. This took place at Lake Gennesareth (i.e. the Sea of Galilee). Leaving behind their father, both brothers followed the Lord.

The Apostle John was especially loved by the Savior for his sacrificial love and his virginal purity. After his calling, the Apostle John did not part from the Lord, and he was one of the three apostles who were particularly close to Him. St John the Theologian was present when the Lord restored the daughter of Jairus to life, and he was a witness to the Transfiguration of the Lord on Mount Tabor. During the Last Supper, he reclined next to the Lord, and laid his head upon His breast. He also asked the name of the Savior's betrayer.

The Apostle John followed after the Lord when they led Him bound from the Garden of Gethsemane to the court of the iniquitous High Priests Annas and Caiphas. He was there in the courtyard of the High Priest during the interrogations of his Teacher and he resolutely followed after him on the way to Golgotha, grieving with all his heart. At the foot of the Cross he stood with the Mother of God and heard the words of the Crucified Lord addressed to Her from the Cross: Woman, behold Thy son. T

hen the Lord said to him, Behold thy Mother (John 19:26-27). From that moment the Apostle John, like a loving son, concerned himself over the Most Holy Virgin Mary, and he served Her until Her Dormition. After the Dormition of the Mother of God the Apostle John went to Ephesus and other cities of Asia Minor to preach the Gospel, taking with him his own disciple Prochorus. They boarded a ship, which floundered during a terrible tempest.

All the travellers were cast up upon dry ground, and only the Apostle John remained in the depths of the sea. Prochorus wept bitterly, bereft of his spiritual father and guide, and he went on towards Ephesus alone. On the fourteenth day of his journey he stood at the shore of the sea and saw that the waves had cast a man ashore. Going up to him, he recognized the Apostle John, whom the Lord had preserved alive for fourteen days in the sea.

Teacher and disciple went to Ephesus, where the Apostle John preached incessantly to the pagans about Christ. His preaching was accompanied by such numerous and great miracles, that the number of believers increased with each day. During this time there had begun a persecution of Christians under the emperor Nero (56-68). They took the Apostle John for trial at Rome. St John was sentenced to death for his confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, but the Lord preserved His chosen one.

The apostle drank a cup of deadly poison, but he remained alive. Later, he emerged unharmed from a cauldron of boiling oil into which he had been thrown on orders from the torturer. After this, they sent the Apostle John off to imprisonment to the island of Patmos, where he spent many years. Proceeding along on his way to the place of exile, St John worked many miracles. On the island of Patmos, his preaching and miracles attracted to him all the inhabitants of the island, and he enlightened them with the light of the Gospel. He cast out many devils from the pagan temples, and he healed a great multitude of the sick. Sorcerers with demonic powers showed great hostility to the preaching of the holy apostle.

He especially frightened the chief sorcerer of them all, named Kinops, who boasted that they would destroy the apostle. But the great John, by the grace of God acting through him, destroyed all the demonic artifices to which Kinops resorted, and the haughty sorcerer perished in the depths of the sea. The Apostle John withdrew with his disciple Prochorus to a desolate height, where he imposed upon himself a three-day fast.

As St John prayed the earth quaked and thunder rumbled. Prochorus fell to the ground in fright. The Apostle John lifted him up and told him to write down what he was about to say. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty (Rev 1:8), proclaimed the Spirit of God through the Apostle John. Thus in about the year 67 the Book of Revelation was written, known also as the Apocalypse, of the holy Apostle John the Theologian. In this Book were predictions of the tribulations of the Church and of the end of the world.

After his prolonged exile, the Apostle John received his freedom and returned to Ephesus, where he continued with his activity, instructing Christians to guard against false teachers and their erroneous teachings. In the year 95, the Apostle John wrote his Gospel at Ephesus. He called for all Christians to love the Lord and one another, and by this to fulfill the commands of Christ. The Church calls St John the Apostle of Love, since he constantly taught that without love man cannot come near to God.

In his three Epistles, St John speaks of the significance of love for God and for neighbor. Already in his old age, he learned of a youth who had strayed from the true path to follow the leader of a band of robbers, so St John went out into the wilderness to seek him. Seeing the holy Elder, the guilty one tried to hide himself, but the Apostle John ran after him and besought him to stop. He promised to take the sins of the youth upon himself, if only he would repent and not bring ruin upon his soul. Shaken by the intense love of the holy Elder, the youth actually did repent and turn his life around.

St John when he was more than a hundred years old. he far outlived the other eyewitnesses of the Lord, and for a long time he remained the only remaining eyewitness of the earthly life of the Savior. When it was time for the departure of the Apostle John, he went out beyond the city limits of Ephesus with the families of his disciples. He bade them prepare for him a cross-shaped grave, in which he lay, telling his disciples that they should cover him over with the soil. The disciples tearfully kissed their beloved teacher, but not wanting to be disobedient, they fulfilled his bidding.

They covered the face of the saint with a cloth and filled in the grave. Learning of this, other disciples of St John came to the place of his burial. When they opened the grave, they found it empty. Each year from the grave of the holy Apostle John on May 8 came forth a fine dust, which believers gathered up and were healed of sicknesses by it. Therefore, the Church also celebrates the memory of the holy Apostle John the Theologian on May 8. The Lord bestowed on His beloved disciple John and John's brother James the name Sons of Thunder as an awesome messenger in its cleansing power of the heavenly fire.

And precisely by this the Savior pointed out the flaming, fiery, sacrificial character of Christian love, the preacher of which was the Apostle John the Theologian. The eagle, symbol of the lofty heights of his theological thought, is the iconographic symbol of the Evangelist John the Theologian. The appellation Theologian is bestows by Holy Church only to St John among the immediate disciples and Apostles of Christ, as being the seer of the mysterious Judgments of God.

Finally, a framework that makes sense of AI's impact on knowledge work
Format: Kindle
Most books about AI focus on task automation and productivity gains. Reshuffle does something different: it explains how AI restructures entire systems through three constraints: tasks, coordination, and risk. For someone working in the language services industry, this book was revelatory. It helped me understand why so many conversations about AI and translation feel misdirected. We debate whether AI will replace translators when the real question is: how will AI reshuffle who creates value in language services? Choudary's central insight is that when AI removes old constraints (like scarcity of expertise), value doesn't disappear. It migrates to new coordination and risk management challenges. This applies across all knowledge professions, not just translation. Section 2 on knowledge work is particularly strong. It shows that lawyers, consultants, accountants, and translators are all experiencing the same fundamental transformation. We're not uniquely vulnerable; we're part of a larger reshuffling of how knowledge creates value. If you're trying to position yourself or your organization for what's coming, this book offers the clearest framework I've found. It's not about having better AI tools. It's about understanding where value pools are forming in the new system. Recommended for anyone in knowledge work who wants to move beyond surface-level AI discussions.

Not like any other how-to book on AI--Eric Swanson's Review
Format: Kindle
Reshuffle is not another “how to use AI” guide. It’s a powerful, big-picture look at how AI is reshaping the very foundations of the knowledge economy. Sangeet doesn’t just explore tools—he reveals the tectonic shifts in how knowledge is created, distributed, and valued. Most people use AI to improve old systems; this book shows why the winners will be those who understand and adapt to entirely new ones. Using powerful examples from history, like the bar code, container boxes and the Maginot Line, Sangeet creates powerful frames for new ways of thinking. Insightful, clear, and compelling, Reshuffle is essential reading for anyone who wants to lead in the age of AI

Would your card still be in the deck after the AI reshuffle?
Format: Paperback
AI’s impact on knowledge workers, and on enterprises, is immense. “Good enough” and inexpensive answers now abound, and the premium once commanded by knowledge workers seems to be slipping away. Enterprises are pinning their hopes on AI-driven efficiencies to stay competitive and relevant. Emotions surrounding this technological breakthrough range from doom and gloom to glee and hope. Sangeet’s Reshuffle helps build a mental model to understand, navigate, and survive this change, and even thrive in it. It’s a refreshing departure from the usual first-order effects and fallacies that dominate social and print media. For knowledge workers, staying relevant is becoming increasingly difficult, especially as the very definition of “relevance” evolves. Simply acquiring AI skills may not suffice if the underlying value of those skills has shifted. Judgment, systems thinking, and coordination will become more valuable. Remaining well-paid and autonomous will require protecting and growing contextual and economic value within this transformed system. Simple, but not easy. At the enterprise level, applying AI for task-based efficiencies in one area often shifts constraints elsewhere. Using systems thinking and positioning AI as the engine, not merely a tool, for innovation and coordination across the value chain will give enterprises a fighting chance to stay competitive. While the metaphorical pie may grow, simply “playing the same game better” won’t earn you a proportional share of it. Existing systems will be unbundled and re-bundled into offerings that solve emerging constraints. Coordinating across the value chain and taking responsibility for delivering customer outcomes will be key to unlocking outsized gains.

A great addition to my Kindle library and a candidate to our Best Book Picks of 2025.
Format: Kindle
In setting the scene, Sangeet reminds us that, in the 1960s, Singapore was a struggling port city with limited natural resources and a rather tenuous future. It's hard to imagine but true. A strategic location in South East Asia. But such location meant little if it could not draw talent and capital to develop the infrastructure needed to grow, and here a deceptively simple and modular invention helped - the shipping container. Harvard Professor Carliss Y. Baldwin, in her book Design Rules, shared with us how technology shapes organisations, indeed entire industries and societal structures, and so, as we envision and put a technology to use, who decide how organisations are shaped, who governs them, and where power and agency lies.  Yet AI is not just any other technology. We are not in full control of the technology and its power to learn, re-shape itself, and its impact on the nature of work therefore extends well beyond the individual using AI tools. This is where Sangeet takes us, into a hugely relevant and timely discussion of how AI presents immense opportunities as well as grave risks to the knowledge economy, as we know it today. The questions raised are profound: among these... - How would power shift from the current ways of work we are accustomed to, towards autonomous networks that make decisions and learn on their own (and faster than us)? - Which organizational models best capture the shifts towards AI-supported value creation? and what path could such a transition follow? - How would these impact the opportunities and risks for collaboration, within and beyond the enterprise?  A whole chapter is dedicated to strategy, and deservedly so. AI in itself does not provide a competitive advantage. Let’s not rush to appoint a Chief AI Officers or draw-up a so-called AI-strategy, for what is essentially a set of widely distributed and accessible technologies. We need a business strategy that acknowledges the deep impacts AI is and will continue to make. Before we rush to layer AI on top of org. processes and models that have served us in previous generations, let’s take an ecosystem-wide view and ask - where are we now? What is fundamentally changing, and Where can we harness its trends towards an advantage? Having read Sangeet's book, my advice is this - seize the opportunity, invite others to the conversation and be open to new forms of power and control, as the organisations that win tomorrow are already experimenting in doing things differently today. A great addition to my Kindle library and a candidate to our Best Book Picks of 2025.
