Summary/Abstract: Exploring the spiritual legacy of the recently canonized Romanian theologian, the bilingual volume "To Live in Peace: The 'Monasticism of the Heart' of Saint Dumitru Stăniloae" receives a favorable review from Rev. Prof. Sorin Cosma. Co-authored by Anca-Mariana Nechita and Daniele Cogoni, the book argues that true monasticism is a state of inner peace accessible to all believers and transcends traditional monastic boundaries. Structured in three parts, it features a profound theological analysis of hesychasm, an illuminating interview with Stăniloae’s grandson, and a translated sermon. Ultimately, this well-documented work successfully highlights Stăniloae's profound vision of universal Christian holiness and ecumenical love.
