Sfinţenia şi fericirea în antropologia teologică a Părinţilor apostolici şi caracterul apologetic al celor două noţiuni
The holiness and happiness in theological anthropology of the Apostolic Fathers and the apologetical character of these two concepts

Summary/Abstract: The Apostolic Fathers were not genius intelectuals but simple saints inclined to piety, dedicating their lives and hearts to the Living Savior who lived in them and they in Him, through Him and for Him. The genuine pastoral concern was the common factor in their writings. They lived in a generation of practical spiritual heroism and not a generation of glittery words. Those times were of heroism; an age, not of writers, but of spiritual soldiers, not of talkers, but of sufferers. Their writings were characterized by the eschatological character. The second coming of Christ the Lord was the ultimate ,,Christian Life” through their direct relationship with the Apostles, as they spoke of the person of Christ with enthusiasm. Their writings revealed a deep yearning towards the ascended Christ the Lord and Savior who still remained alive and dwelt among them. They waited for his coming to see Him face to face. This yearning carried a saintly form in their lives, writings and worship and gave them a state of personal fulfilment as well as perfect joy which bore the spirit of communion of the whole Church through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
