Summary/Abstract: Theology of Father Dumitru Stăniloae is characterized by a personalist perspective emphasized in triadology, but also in anthropology, christology and ecclesiology. Thus, the state of communication and communion between God and human being is presented from the creation of man, in primordial state. In Heaven there was a personal communication between God and man, but due to the sin of the forefathers Adam and Eve, this natural state of communication and communion was broken, being altered. The whole creation suffered, but God continued to communicate with man, through the dialogue with the patriarchs and prophets of the Old Testament. This dialogue aimed the Incarnation of the Word who restored communication and communion between God and human being.
