GHEORGHE RACOVEANU – ”PREDANIA TRĂIRISMULUI ”

Summary/Abstract: Gheorghe Racoveanu, the most faithful disciple of Professor Nae Ionescu, as Mircea Vulcănescu described him, was one of the greatest inter-war Romanian theologians alongside Dumitru Staniloae, Nae Ionescu, Nichifor Crainic, or Sandu Tudor. In 1924 he was engaged in the newspaper "Cuvântul", where he became chief editor in 1938. In the same year he was appointed general inspector and deputy secretary general at the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The front page editor, from 1930, takes over the weekly "Dumineca," previously held by Nichifor Crainic and Nae Ionescu. This year, his name is regularly found in all the stages of existence of the "Word" (1930-1934, 1938, 1940-1941). In 1937, Racoveanu edited the famous Theological Magazine "Predania," in which he co-wrote, together with the editorial group, and Nae Ionescu. After 1940 he went to exile in Freising, a small town near Munich, founded the publishing house, and the Word continued. "Thus, in 1961," The Word in Exile, "a generous cultural forum of the Romanian exile, the magazine was edited until 1967, the year of his death. Racoveanu is also a collaborator in the "Law" magazine and editor of the journal "Right," where he publishes articles dedicated to Orthodox spirituality. In obituary Mircea Eliade would note: "I doubt that Racoveanu's exegesis will be one day alongside other classical interpretations of Romanian realities, signed by illustrious names, from Mihai Eminescu and Hasdeu to Lucian Blaga and Mircea Vulcanescu".
