Summary/Abstract: The main starting point to understand the development, implementation, updating and affirmation of humano-Christian experiences has been shown in many ways and faces either through the faith that has developed through the Holy Tradition, or through the written religious literature that through religious prints, through their extensive dissemination and through the neat form of expression, have imposed in these centuries a certain form of the Romanian literary language, where they were edited along with the religious texts themselves and the numerous apocryphal texts, books of popular wisdom, of moral guidance, books that had a special impact on the righteous people. The purpose of the ecclesiastical letters in that historical context was to consolidate the Romanian sacred literary writing, but there was also a didactic purpose using a language understandable to everyone, showing in this way the neatest form of expression of the Romanian literary language in the first half of the XVII century. Religious literature brings to our cultural space of Byzantine orientation a mentis form of medieval type that coincides largely with the Western way of thinking, thus laying the foundations of the first forms of artistic literature, helped to replace the slşavona with the language Romanian, unifying it, untying the way to a scholarly style.
