Călin Cioara-Trif, The Orthodox Parish of Curechiu—Monographic Highlights from the Zarand Region, Publishing House of the Diocese of Deva and Hunedoara, Deva, 2025, 358p

Summary/Abstract: Reviewed by Rev. Prof. Dr. Florin Dobrei, Călin Cioara-Trif’s monograph "The Orthodox Parish of Curechiu" offers a profound historical and ecclesial analysis of the rural communities of Curechiu and Șesuri in the Zarand region. Originally a pastoral degree thesis, the volume meticulously explores the area's geographic, demographic, and religious evolution. It vividly reconstructs crucial historical events, particularly highlighting Curechiu as the starting point of the 1784 peasant rebellion. Furthermore, the book details local ecclesiastical heritage, including the iconic 1785 wooden church, the succession of dedicated priests, and educational community development. Ultimately, the reviewer highly recommends this rigorous, interdisciplinary study of rural history.
