Summary/Abstract: The theology of Scythia Minor was an element of ethnogenesis of the Dacians from the territory of today’s Romania and of the descendants who are Romanians. The Orthodox faith and theology contributed substantially to the spiritual continuity of the Dacians and then of the Romanians, as attested by numerous archaeological discoveries from Scythia Minor and other territories of our country. Our exposition highlights the role that these Church Fathers and Christian writers had through their practical and theological works of wide ecumenical profoundness, to shaping a unitary consciousness at European level in the context of the time.
