Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the causes and some aspects regarding the participation of several young Romanian theologians at the Iron Guard movement as well as the consequences of their political involvement during the 1930s. The author demonstrates the participation of several Romanian theologians at the rebellion of the Iron Guard in January 1941. He is attempting to explain this political participation which led to tough political consequences for the future of some of the young theologians who became members of Iron Guard. They were expelled from education institutions, their exams were postponed for one year, those of age were drafted, and some were arrested (or forced confinement at home). The author is publishing several archival documents which sustain his point of view.
