Summary/Abstract: This collection of studies offers a comprehensive exploration of religious, cultural, and historical developments in Central and Eastern Europe from Late Antiquity to the contemporary period. The volume opens with theological reflections on the deification of humanity in the thought of Saint Athanasius, followed by a critical reassessment of Greek and Armenian sources on the Paulician movement. Several contributions investigate monastic and ecclesiastical institutions—Cistercian foundations in the Mureș Valley, the Franciscan convent of Caransebeș, and the Jesuit presence in Banat—while others examine the evolution of theological education within the Serbian Orthodox Diocese of Timișoara. Studies on Greek Catholic identities in Arad County, the role of clergy at the Great Union, and the historiographical recovery of Monsignor Iosif Gunciu illuminate the complex interplay between religion and national history. The volume further addresses the pressures exerted on religious communities under communism, including censorship, suppression of Catholic orders, and the lived experience of Baptist churches in the 1980s.

- Summary/Abstract:La divinisation de l’homme est une théologie fortement présente dans les écrits des Pèresde l’Eglise de langue grecque. Athanase, évêque d’Alexandrie entre 328-373, est celui qui laformule explicitement en ces termes: „Dieu c’est fait homme pour que l’homme devienneDieu”, traité Sur l’incarnation du Verbe, 54, 3. Dans ce même traité, le théologien alexandrinexplique le double motif de l’incarnation du Verbe: premièrement, Dieu avait prévu ladivinisation de l’homme comme couronnement de sa création, c’est à dire, le faire partager lacommunion de sa vie divine. Cette divinisation de l’homme n’était pas possible hors l’incarnationdu Verbe même de Dieu, lequel, partageant notre condition humaine pouvait nousintroduire dans la vie divine; deuxièmement, étant donné que l’homme est tombé dans lepéché, c’est à dire qu’il a voulu s’en passer de Dieu pour s’auto-diviniser, ce qui est une pureillusion, l’incarnation du Verbe gagne également un second motif, le rachat de l’homme deson péché et de la mort, la conséquence du péché, et le don de l’immortalité. Dans cette contribution nous voulons montrer cet aspect tellement important de la théologie athanasienne repris aussi dans la théologie latine, formulé par saint Augustin ainsi: „Le Christ s’est fait ce que nous sommes, pour que nous devenions ce qu’il est; et Dieu devint homme pour que les hommes deviennent dieux” (Sermon 192, 1 & 166, 4).

- Summary/Abstract:Les mouvements hérétiques sont l’un des chapitres les plus prolifiques de l’histoire duchristianisme, une histoire souvent caractérisée par des lacunes en matière d’information,mais aussi par des témoignages fascinants de moyens de résoudre des dilemmes dogmatiques.Comme dans le cas d’autres hérésies, dans le cas du paulicianism aussi, les recherches historiquesne peuvent nous fournir de preuves irréfutables d’évolution doctrinale-historique oud’un cadre qui circonscrirait pleinement les conceptions religieuses de cette communauté.par conséquent, cet article ne cherche pas tant à offrir, ni à chercher, une réponse à la questionde l’unicité ou de la pluralité du courant hérétique appelé paulicianism.

- Summary/Abstract:Das geistliche Leben der Stadt Karansebesch war über Jahrhunderte mitgeprägt vom Wirken des Franziskanerordens, dessen Minderbrüder, im Laufe von mehr als vierhundert Jahren – in ihren nacheinander vor Ort errichteten Klöstern –, zu unterschiedlichen Kustodien bzw. Provinzen gehörten. In diesem zweiten Teil der Studie schauenwir mit Hilfe einiger unveröffentlichten schriftlichen Zeugnissen aus den Diözesanarchivdes Bistums Temeswar (aus den Jahren 1734, 1736-1737, 1761/1764 und 1778) und ausdem Franziskanerarchiv Budapest, auf die Zeit von 1738, als das Kloster einen schweren Schaden erlitt, dann aber zu einer neuen Blütezeit ab dem Jahre 1751 aufbrach. Auch Fachpublikationen aus den letzten Jahren, die verschiedene Erkenntnisse anhand von schriftlichen Zeugnissen aus dem Archiv der ‚Propaganda fide‘ aus Rom und aus anderen Archiven, zum bisherigen Wissensstand hinzugefügt haben, sollen berücksichtigt werden.Ab 1751 gehörte der vormals „unterdückte Konvent” wieder offiziell als regulärer Konvent von Karansebesch zur „Bulgarischen Provinz” bzw. später zur „Bulgarisch-Wallachischen Ordensprovinz der Unbefleckten Empfängnis der Gottesmutter Maria”. Des weiterenerörtern wir – soweit es die zugestandenen Seitenzahlen für diesen zweiten Teil der Studie erlauben – einige Fragen zu den frühen Sakralbauten der Stadt Karansebesch (Kirchen /Kapellen, Moscheen). Da bis heute die konfesionelle Zugehörigkeit der Fundamente der wiederentdeckten mittelalterlichen Kirche diskutiert wird, versuchen wir noch einiges zu den Vorgängerkirchen der heutigen Pfarrkirche – die selbst als Franziskanerkirche erbaut worden war – zu erkunden, und schauen auf die damit verbundenen Fragen und Schwierigkeiten.

- Summary/Abstract:The theological scholar in the Serbian Orthodox Church has played an important role in the history of this cult. The professional training of priests was particularly important forthe episcopal chairs, especially in the context of the struggle for preserving faith and nationalidentity. In a multi-religious and multiethnic region, Bishop of Timisoara Petar Petrovicichose in 1800 two outstanding people of society to take care of the professional training ofthe Romanian and Serbian Orthodox priests. This approach also had an ecumenical content, through the presence of the Roman Catholic Bishop of Timisoara as of the canon of theRoman Catholic bishopric at the festive course. Although this course did not work after thedeath of Bishop Petrovici, it is important to note that it was the first step of the Episcopateof Timisoara for the professional training of Orthodox priests in Banat.

- Summary/Abstract:The ethnical and confessional diversity of the Arad area has created the desire of eachcommunity to preserve their own identity. One of the identity marks was the school. LawXXXVIII of 1868 gave the right of confessions to set up and support school institutions. During the Austro-Hungarian dualism, the Greek-Catholic ecclesiastical authorities in the county of Arad assumed the role of coordinating their own network of educational units, the evolution of which was fluctuating. If 13 schools were reviewed in the school year 1891/1892, their number diminished to 8, around World War I. The educational process took place according to the legislation in force and the norms developed by the Greek-Catholic Episcopate, all of which were meant to ensure its proper functioning.

- Summary/Abstract:In the Romanian society from Transylvania in the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, the priest embodied an important character and a cohesive factor. The activity of the cleric involved a large spectrum of fields: religious, political, economical, social,cultural, educational, national (until the Great Union from 1918). The priest was a noticeable personality of the Romanian Community, both within the church, where he was serving, but also in the society, where he was always seen as a guide and a behavior role-model to be followed. Byhis intellectual preparation, the Romanian priest from Transylvania represented an essential partof the Romanian elite. Some clerics had, besides the intellectual theological formation acquired in Blaj, formation stages at Budapest, Vienna, Rome, or even followed the courses of faculties such as Law and Letters. This paper aims to introduce the priests from Mureş-Turda county, whowere officially elected to represent their communities at the Great Union. During the Great War,they helped the ones in sufferance or were themselves victims of intolerance, some of them beingeven deported. In the inter-war period these priests contributed massively in the direction of organizing the administration with Romanian characteristics in the towns and counties they camefrom. Mureş-Turda county was represented at the Great Union by eleven Greek-Catholic priests. Among these we mention Ariton Marian Popa (1871-1946), the Greek-Catholic archpriest of Reghin and Dionisie Decei (1869-1949), the Greek Catholic archpriest of Mureş.

- Summary/Abstract:As a protruding figurehead of the Roman-Catholic Church from Romania and as a priest of the latin Archdiocese of Bucharest, Monsignor dr. Iosif Gunciu was not allowed to benefit duringhis lifetime of the advantages granted by the church dogma whom he served in, being unable to exert canonical jurisdiction entrusted by clandestine bishop Iosif Schubert, due to existing competition with priest Francisc Augustin. Avoided by the catholic official historiography and missing from its trusted periodicals, he is approached tangentially in contemporary historical studies, having lined up a couple of functions that he provisionary takes hold of. His existence and work depicts past times from the local church. This current study is meant to fill the void of evidences within documents conducted by the slacking renditions entailed by biased researchers or by others who give him a peripheral position in canonical hierarchy, due to the fact that they are not aquainted with the „De Nominaione Substitutorum” Decree nor with its norms of application.

- Summary/Abstract:Aaron Márton was well-versed in theology, but also in humanities in general. The most defining stage of his intellectual development was his time in Cluj-Napoca, where he served as the pastor of a university. This rather active phase gave Aaron Márton time to reflect on the main characteristics of the many different ideologies of the interwar period. The clarity tha the gained prompted him to act, and so he entered the field of actions without any hesitation.In his lectures, his speeches, his essays and his editorials he discussed the ideas of Liberalism, Bolshevism and Nazism, so as to give directions for his peers, both young and old. As bishop(from 1938 onward), as a child of the people, he knew their troubles and needs well, and he tried his best to aid them. He always stayed true to his motto: Domine, si adhuc populo tuosum necessarius, non recuso laborem.

- Summary/Abstract:After the one-sided denunciation of the existent Concordat between the Holy See and the Romanian Government, through the Great National Assembly Decree 151 from 1948, the authorities unfolded a path towards a new juristic disposition establishment and the institutional framework in cult bailiwick restoration. This abusive stance lead to acquiring other measures that imply changes in the current law, consecrating laity influence on the Catholic Chuch structure within the country. Following a series of juristic norms taken by the regime, which are meant to legitimite the restriction that cult activities deploy, onJuly 29th 1949, the resort ministry had submitted a decree to the Great National Assembly through its titular Stanciu Stoian, in order to repeal religious organizations. As stipulated in the official document, numbered 810 from August 1st the same year, confessional schooling was abolished and passed over in the government prerogatives. Based on the same decree,„education competences, health and public assistance, according to legislation in force, are conceded fully and exclusively to the authorities”.

- Summary/Abstract:This study describes the censorship of the religious press printed between 1945 and 1989 in Romania. The text is based on the documents researched in the collections of the National Archives of Romania, in the background of the Press and Printing Committee. Until the official establishment of the official censorship institution (D.G.P.T.), there was a Press Office within the Ministry of Information. This Press Department of the Ministry of Information was responsible to Major Cebanenco, Head of the Censorship Bureau of the Allied Control Commission in Romania. After the official establishment in 1949 of the censorship institutionin Romania, the General Directorate of Press and Printing, all periodical publications, including religious publications, passed through its filter. The official state census reduced the number of publications published by the cults of 108, as they appeared in 1948, at 16 in1958. The censorship made by D.G.P.T. was complemented by that of the censors from the Ministry, namely the Department of Cults. The Communist censorship strived to diminishby all possible means the spread of religious knowledge to the people.

- Summary/Abstract:The Church-State relationship involves several angles of analysis, one of which is the one referring to the Baptist Christian Churches in Romania. With a presence attested in Romanian space since the middle of the nineteenth century, they had to cope with the changes and restrictions imposed by the communist regime. Starting from this reality, the study presents events from the life of the Baptist community in Romania during the 1980s of the20th century. We present a series of state provisions on supervision, control, and in some cases even repression, but also the response of an individual or institutional Christian Baptist Churches to believers and worship personnel, thus contributing to a complex understanding of religious life of that period.

- Summary/Abstract:L’autore ha voluto presentare, seppur succintamente, il Ժամագիրք (Žamagirk’), ovvero Il libro delle Ore della Chiesa Armena, comune sia alla Chiesa Armena Apostolica, sia alla Chiesa Armena cattolica. Il rito bizantino conosce numerose opere e traduzioni sull’Ufficio Divino e sulla Liturgia, meno il rito armeno e gli altri riti orientali comuni sia alle Chiese sorelle, sia alle Chiese cattoliche di rito orientale. Il libro delle ore è scritto in grabar o armeno classico, e si divide in più ore, come del resto gli altri riti della Chiesa. Tra gli autori delle varie opere, possiamo annoverare personaggi sommi come il patriarca Sahak (355-438), discendente di San Gregorio l’Illuminatore, che ascese al catholicossato, ed a Mesrop (360-440), nonché Grigor Narekatsi / Gregorio di Narek (ca 944 – ca 1010), proclamato da papa Francesco, dottore della Chiesa, e da San Nersēs Shnorali (1102-1173), Catholicos della Chiesa armena dal 1166. L’autore si è soffermato anche sulle varie ore che palesano una ricchezza inestimabile,sia dal punto di vista letterario, sia da quello liturgico. Esse manifestano altresì un’influenza cappadoce, siriaca e, talora, anche latina, nonché una peculiarità della tradizione armena.
