Summary/Abstract: Through this article we propose a lexical analysis of the orthodox theological journals, from the perspective of the presence of neologisms (loans and internal formations) as well as the terminological transfer from other fields. The corpus includes 2 journals: Theological studies and Tabor, published in Bucharest and Cluj-Napoca. The research has emphasized divergent tendencies: the option to conserve the terminology of Latin or NeoGreek origin and the attempt to find Romanian equivalents for some recent neologisms as well as the introduction of some neologisms, in their source language form, mostly not adapted to Romanian, on the other hand.
