Virgil Gheorghiu on Communism, Capitalism and National Socialism
Virgil Gheorghiu, an important but controversial figure in Romanian exile literature, remains one of his country's best-known writers today. Based on his works and their reception, but also on the existing secondary literature, this study examines his reflection on three important ideologies, namely communism, national socialism and capitalism, in order to highlight the specificities of Virgil Gheorghiu's thought and to see what aspects of topicality and contemporary relevance can be found in it.
World War I and the Birth of a New World Order
This volume will serve to enrich the reader’s understanding of the impact of World War I on Eastern Europe, by bringing together authors from all over Europe specialising in the history of this area. It presents a retrospective approach and a re-evaluation of this event, the lasting effects of which still make themselves felt in some regions today. Case studies, memoirs, journals, and the printed press of the time are all examined in order to paint a vivid picture of the Great War in Eastern Europe, and particularly in Romania. The chapters offer fresh perspectives on topics connected to the war, including the contribution of women and the emancipation opportunities for them, the social changes that occurred, and the propaganda in Romanian territory. They also review the League of Nations and the protection of international minorities, particularly in those regions where new boundaries were created, and where the application of national self-determination still left substantial communities outside the frontiers of the respective states.
On Earth as in Heaven
As this new volume of his writings reveals, His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew has continually proclaimed the primacy of spiritual values in determining environmental ethics and action. For him, the predicament we face is not primarily ecological but in fact spiritual: The ultimate aim is to see all things in God, and God in all things.

Repere ale autobiografiei spirituale din spatiul ortodox in secolele XIX si XX
Lucrarea de fata este una de pionierat. Daca in catolicism si in protestantism, autobiografia spirituala este intalnita des, nu acelasi lucru se intampla si in spatiul ortodox. De aceea e meritul Parintelui Maxim ca s-a aplecat asupra acestui gen spiritual. Faptul ca inainte de a se opri la cele trei autobiografii, ale lui Ioan de Kronstadt, Siluan Athonitul si Nicolae Berdiaev, face o incursiune in istoria autobiografiei spirituale, plecand de la Sfantul Apostol Pavel, trecand la Fericitul Augustin si punctand alte cateva cazuri, pana in veacul al XIX-lea, ne ajuta sa ne orientam in complexitatea genului. Investigatia o face interdisciplinar si cu deschidere ecumenica, ajutandu-ne sa intelegem contextul aparitiei anumitor scrieri. Determinandu-ne sa ne aplecam asupra genului autobiografic, ne ajuta sa definim autobiografia spirituala si-n spatiul ortodox. Mai mult, din punct de vedere duhovnicesc, suntem plasati in vremurile in care s-au scris.
The Concept of Environment in Judaism, Christianity and Islam
On the seventh day, God rested and thus completed his creation. Likewise, man should rest on the seventh day and every seven years leave the fields fallow to rest. If you like, a divine economic and environmental programme is encountered here. "Subdue the earth" is not to be misunderstood as a mandate to subjugate and exploit, but on the contrary as a call to preserve God's "very good" creation. Its current explosiveness illustrates precisely this fundamental relationship. Even secular circles now speak of the "integrity of creation" as a matter of course. And in Muslim countries, scholars and activists are preparing to launch a "green Islam", based of course on Quranic principles. At the sa...
Secrets, Lies, and Consequences
The tale of a legendary scholar, an unsolved murder, and the mysterious documents that may connect them In early 1991, Ioan Culianu was on the precipice of a brilliant academic career. Culianu had fled his native Romania and established himself as a widely admired scholar at just forty-one years of age. He was teaching at the University of Chicago Divinity School where he was seen as the heir apparent to his mentor, Mircea Eliade, a fellow Romanian expatriate and the founding father of the field of religious studies, who had died a few years earlier. But then Culianu began to receive threatening messages. As his fears grew, he asked a colleague to hold onto some papers for safekeeping. A wee...
