“Christian Culture” and the Contemporary Romanian Social Life
“Christian Culture” and the Contemporary Romanian Social Life

Summary/Abstract: There is an ongoing debate and process regarding the place of Christian culture within the European identity. Challenging individual and institutional positions urge theology, in particular, to reevaluate the role Christianity might have in the contemporary cultural landscape, in both dimensions, high and low. As a result, one finds it necessary to repropose Christian culture in an adapted current form so as to reflect the dilemmas and issues of the context, proving its validity nowadays. The analysis is developed in a theological key, in three important sections: after a conceptual analysis, the paper dwells on the relation Christian culture–profane culture in the European framework and, finally, the discussion is applied to the Romanian space. The conclusion highlights some possible inputs the Romanian situation may offer to the contemporary European context.
