He preached God's word at his home island, Cephalonia, at Zakynthos, at Corfu and at Constantinople.

An older book is "Η Πέτρα του Σκανδάλου" (The Start of the Scandal) about the Photian schism.

Many historians consider him a student of Frangiscos Scoufos and others an imitator of Paolo Segneri.

With his speeches he helped the development of ecclesiastical rhetoric and the configuration of Modern Greek language.
