Summary/Abstract: Books like Eugenia Scarvelis Constantinou’ s Thinking Orthodox, are not published often, summing up an experience of 40 years of teaching and lecturing in different universities around the globe is meant to clarify the present state of the Orthodox theology and mostly of theologizing. Though religion in general and Christian faith in special seems to loose its importance in the modern and post-modern society, there is a growing appetite for theology from people of no religious formation, such as the Gabriel Liiceanu. Though he claims to do „a bit of theology”, all he managed was to revigorate old gnostic and heretical ideas, as well as formulating a form of liberal atheism, which was so much part of the communist education in Romania. Lecturing St. Symeon the New Theologian’s writings,examining his life and try to adapt it to the XXIst century will point out that doing theology is a good exercise for everybody while theologizing is a top responsibility for who climbed up on the highest level of purification and put up an indestructible bond with Christ-God.
