Summary/Abstract: In the understanding of Father Dumitru St\niloae, theology means not talking about God, but talking to Him, the dialogue with Him achieved during a state of prayer. It is not an elaborate discourse about Him, but His call to a sincere and pure dialogue held with sincerity in the inside world. A dialogue achieved after a pure, focused prayer, which arises from purity and love. Similarly, theology doesn’t mean a system of knowledge about God, nor a speech about His attributes, but a dialog with Him, through a high spiritual life and through the pure prayer. He also emphasizes the sense of the theological education reform: through a high spiritual education, to the highest way of living and struggling.
