Ecclesiological and Soteriological Aspects in the Works of 20th Century Wallachian Homilists

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents ecclesiological and soteriological issues broached by 20th century Wallachian homilists. Our research investigates the original, highly valuable sermons, addressing essential aspects of Orthodox Christian tenets. Homilists have been constantly concerned with defending Orthodoxy and developing the national language and culture, a fact denoted today by a large number of treatises on the history of Romanian language and literature. The Church also notoriously played a major role in preserving the awareness of the national unity of Romanians on both sides of the Carpathians. The contents of many of the old sermons, related to the life of Romanian society at various times serve for historians, sociologists and philologists as mirrors of the states of affairs in past times.
