Summary/Abstract: This study aims at investiating the relation between State and Church during the communist regime (1945-1989) with particular focus on Patriarch Justinian Marina (1948-1977). The proposed investigation has a twofold objective: to make some comments on recent bibliography of the subject and to sketch the main methodological debates that constitute the historiography of the relation between State and Church. Since the subject is not only complex, but also sensitive, the diversity of methodologies might be a positive feature. However, for the moment only the methodologies from historical sciences and political sciences can be pointed out. Hence, the scientific debate on the subject needs the methodological contribution from theology and communication sciences (especially the discourse analysis).
