Summary/Abstract: As priest, professor and martyr, Ilarion V. Felea was one of the brightestpersonalities of the Diocese of Arad and the Romanian Orthodox Church aswell. His theological thinking is not arid, superfi cial, but always profound, alive,apologetic, and confessing. Father Ilarion V. Felea had a wide and pertinentperception and vision of things, unwilling to imagine an abstract theology fl oatingabove the realities of life and the world. On the contrary, he wanted a theology readyto inspire and to animate both the preachers of the faith and the Orthodox faithful,who had to be thoroughly initiated into the mysteries of faith and the Church’s life.The confessional dimension of his person and theology must be regarded in thiscontext, which brought a tremendous service to the work of the Orthodox Church inthe western part of the country and beyond
