Issue 2.2

Ne cerem iertare pentru intarzierea cu care postam cel de-al doilea numar al volumului 2, anul 2008, din jurnalul nostru de teologie. Desi forma tiparita a fost impartasita la sfarsitul anului 2008, am reusit sa postam de-abia acum forma electronica a numarului 2. Speram ca efortul depus la realizarea acestui numar sa fie benefica pentru toti cititorii nostri. Va dorim multe binecuvantari, insotite de o crestere continua in cunoasterea Domnului Isus Hristos si in adevarul Scripturii.

Cu pretuire,

Tendinţa de izolare a bisericii – piedică în evanghelizare	Andrei Sava	The relationship of a Christian with the world was a tension point along Church’s history, since Christians tried to reach a balance between being different from the world and in the same time being in the world.

Communicating the Gospel within a Largely Orthodox Post-Communist Country	Lect.univ.dr. Daniel Maris	“In many ways, Romania is an enigma; ambiguities and contradictions abound. The people – dark complexioned, charming, emotional – regard themselves as the descendants of Roman colonists who intermarried with local tribes, Dacians and Getae, and they speak predominantly Romance language. Although their country is a Latin island in a Slavic sea, their national church is Orthodox… In several respects Romania is Orthodoxy’s Poland, although evangelical Protestant Churches too are packed with enthusiastic worshipers. (Janice BROWN, Conscience and captivity, religious in Eastern Europe, Washinton DC.: Ethics Policy Centre,1988, p. 199.).” Brown noted very well that under the communist regime…
Evangelismul şi suveranitatea lui Dumnezeu	Florian Ilie Gogosoiu	When we talk about the concept of the sovereignty of God  we don’t want to train our minds in a study of providence, or divine predestination; the only theme concerning us is divine sovereignty in grace, meaning, God’s great action of bringing back helpless sinners to His communion, only through Christ. The study will answer what evangelism is, what is God’s role and human’s, likewise, in all of this…
