Summary/Abstract: This text reviews Silviu Ionel Ferciug's monograph, "The Orthodox Church and Romanian Society During the Great War: Theological Schools in Banat and Arad," originally a highly appreciated doctoral thesis. The study comprehensively explores the activity and significance of the Orthodox theological institutes in Arad and Caransebeș between 1914 and 1919. Through extensive archival research and comparative analysis, the author highlights the schools' national, spiritual-educational, and sanitary-philanthropic functions. The review emphasizes how these institutions, despite wartime hardships and political interference, defended the Romanian faith and national identity, ultimately contributing to the ideal of the Great Union.
