The Theological Seminarial Education in Romania – Traditions and Perspectives
ABSTRACT. Theological seminaries in Romania have a bi-secular tradition. Being the oldest secondary schools which functioned in Romanian Principalities, they reached a special prestige until 1948, when they were dissolved by the communist regime. During the communist period, the theological education took place exclusively under the patronage of the Church, being extremely marginalized. After 1989, the pre-universitary theological schools were reestablished in most bishoprics. This article presents the major contribution that Theological Seminaries acquired in opening more perspectives in modern Romanian educational system.

The Veniamin Costachi Seminary before its closing (1941-1948)
ABSTRACT. „Veniamin Costachi” Seminary from Iassy, the most important theological school of Moldavia, dealt in the past with a lot of unhappy circumstances such as the bombardments, requisitions, the refuge and many other historical confrontations.The educational activity during 1941-1948 had also shown to what extent such profound crises were felt in the life of the school. In spite of these terrible difficulties, that some teachers and pupils had faced, nothing could stop the activity of the school and nothing made cease the tradition of the theological seminary. This could not have been possible without the generosity and dedication of those who understood that only through their sacrifice the school could continue its activity.
The Contribution of Veniamin Costachi Seminary to the Evolution of Byzantine Music in Romania – part I
ABSTRACT. The oldest Romanian seminary institution, founded in Iassy by the metropolitan Veniamin Costachi, has contributed, by means of its strong spiritual traditions, to the raise of a strong Orthodox school of religious music. The music curricula, made under the supervision of Veniamin Costachi, a great personality of the Romanian culture, was put in practice with the personalities of psaltic music at that time, invited in Iassy from Constantinople Oecumenic Patriarchy such as: Petru Lampadarul, Grigore Vizantie, Gheorghe Paraschiade. Their Romanian student, Dimitrie Suceveanu, will find his way under their supervision, and will become the next great figure of the psaltic music. He will fulfill the dream of his Romanian superior hierarch about using Romanian, the language of the country, for worship and study in the Moldavian churches and seminaries. He made this dream possible thanks to his teachers, the Constantinopolitan Greek psalts, who taught him the most authentic traditions of the Byzantine chant, going to the Greek sources of the Patristic age. Dimitrie Suceveanu will „transpose” with high accuracy all these traditions in Romanian Church music. So the seminary of Socola became a strong music school which will raise great personalities of religious music. I made a presentation of their contribution in this study, as author of the first History of Byzantine Music in Romanian and also as former seminary scholar, who practiced the Byzantine Music, and studied its evolution in the Romanian spirituality.

Saint Alexander, Archbishop of Constantinople – Reconstitution of a Biography of the Early Spirituality and History of Byzantine Empire
ABSTRACT. Alexander, Archbishop of Constantinople (314-337) was the discrete witness of the greatest changes which marked the Western Roman Empire. During his episcopate „the new Rome”, Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire was inaugurated. The first great Ecumenical Council took place at Niceea, in 325, when the Orthodox Church won the first ideological confrontation of its history: Arianism. The name of the great hierarch was related to many wondrous deeds which confirm the holiness of his life, the sublimity of his gift. „The silence” of the sources that characterizes the person of Alexander „talks” today through his secret presence in the spiritual conscience of those who praise him.
An example of a Christian – Islamic Dialogue in the 9th Century: The Correspondence of al-Hāshimī and al-Kindī
ABSTRACT. Arguably the most famous of the Christian polemical works in Arabic, the Apology of al-Kindī is a (pseudo?) correspondence between a Muslim and a Christian during the ninth century. This short paper in history of religions is an unpretentious invitation to look at this text which is exemplary not only within its context but also, conceivably enough, within our own times.

The Image of God in Chrysostomian Theology
ABSTRACT. In Chrysostomian thought, the image of God confered to man is the seal of God which invested man with the authority of governing the entire creation. Before the fall, man and women had this image equally impressed as a gift and endowment of God naturally attached to the human being so that they were ontologically equal. After the fall the image of God was altered. Women lost her independence and her equality to man until Christ incarnation. Salvation is a complex work of Jesus Christ, Son of God, who has restored the divine image of God in humans and has deified the entire humanity.

St. Maximus the Confessor – Questions and Queries
ABSTRACT. This text represents the translation of a fragment from the work of Saint Maximus the Confessor, entitled Quaestiones et dubia (CPG 7689).

Dumitru Stăniloae, in the second volume of Filocalia, presents an incomplete form of the work, being translated according the text of the PG. This selection of questions, published now in the Romanian language for the first time, is meant to announce a future complete edition of this maximian work which is now in process of editing.
