– Dumitru Stăniloae – Background, context and development of an ecclesiological synthesis

Summary/Abstract: Dumitru Staniloae was one of the most influential Orthodox writers of the second half of the twentieth century. J. Moltmann said about him that he was the greatest theologian alive in his day1 , and an Orthodox Heidegger, an Eastern Karl Barth2 . His theological synthesis is a mirror of his ethnic construction. Romanians are a Latin nation with an Eastern belief and they are situated at the confluence of Latin, Greek and Slavic Christianiy. That is why Staniloae’s theology is a theology of synthesis without losing its personal character.
