As a writer and philosopher, Nikos Kazantzakis struggled all his life with existential questions, once spending several months in a monastery in an attempt to attain a closer relationship with God. His relentless quest to understand the nature of life through travel, extensive reading, and constant conversation with a diverse array of compatriots ultimately led Kazantzakis to compose this book of "spiritual exercises" meant to help the reader achieve harmony between the countervailing human impulses toward an immortality-seeking asceticism and toward a more nihilistic and materialist view of death. As with all Kazantzakis's philosophical works, The Saviors of God sheds light on a mind uniquely suited to a nuanced examination of what it means to be human, and establishes a hopeful vision for a dazzlingly syncretic approach to spiritual life.

Kazantzakis përshkruan njeriun, natyrën, tokën, universin: gjithshka ndehet për të dëgjuar "Klithmën e Zotit" në çdo fije, në molekulën më të fshehtë të lëndës.
Autori përshkruan përpjekjen dhe luftën e vazhdueshme të njeriut, natyrës, tokës dhe universit për të shpetuar "Zotin në rrezik". Zotin që mbytet": ngjitja drejt lirisë së madhe, drejt shpëtimit nuk ka fund.
