Trinitarian and Anthropological Personalism in Father Stăniloae’s View and its Signifi cance to the Contemporary Man

Summary/Abstract: This study presents Dumitru Stăniloae’s vision on both God’s and man’s personal nature. Starting from the love present in the world, Fr. Stăniloae postulates theexistence of an eternal and perfect love which can be shared only by multiple, divinePersons. Humans are persons due to the image of this living and personal God theybear. As man keeps alive his love and relation with the Triune God, he is constantly discovering and deepening his own personal nature. The image of God inside him is unceasingly prompting him to manifest in a concrete way his relations with Godand with his fellows. Following this impulse, man is taken out of the monotony and superficiality of the existence, and put on the vertical spiral of communion with God and with the people, which is always new and creative.
