Summary/Abstract: This modest article (which will be followed by a second part in the next issue) attempts to provide an overview of Father Dumitru Stăniloaeʼs contribution to theology, emphasizing acknowledgments and comments from the entire horizon of Christian theology, especially Roman Catholic theology. The present study shows how Stăniloae was able to successfully develop a form of neopatristic theology, which served to support not only his spiritual approach of the dogmas, but also his emphasis on the importance of exegesis, philolocal theology, ascetic experience, of the development of Tradition and, in a very special way, of ecumenism. All these aspects converge in a new model of theology that Stăniloae himself calls „living theology”.
