Summary/Abstract: In the Autumn of 1943, in a difficult period of war, in Caransebeş was laid the foundations of a high academic publication, „Banat Altar”, a „magazine for the building of the soul and the theological science”, which was finally imposed-through content, elegance of ideas and excellence-in the Romanian journalistic-theological field; the founder of the magazine was the hierarch Veniamin Nistor, bishop of Caransebeş and the entire Banat Highland (former counties Caraş and Severin) during the heavy period of 1941-1949. The times were, however, troubled, the year 1948 bringing almost total suppression of magazines and ecclesiastical interwar periodicals; among these publications was the Banat theological journal.
