Summary/Abstract: The paper, which appeared at the prestigious publishing house of the Cluj University Press in 2016, represents a step of awareness and deepening of the missionary responsability in the context of the publication of the documents of the Pan-Orthodox Council of Crete (2016). The author of this study of contemporary missiology, PhD Associate Professor Priest Cristian Sonea, uses this opportunity to make an actual assessment of the missionary paradigms. Associate Professor at the Department of Missiology and Ecumenism of the Faculty of Orthodox Theology, Babeş Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca, and with an accredited expertise in the fi elds of Missiology and Ecumenism, The Science of Confessions, Theology and Culture, Father Cristian Sonea forms a paradigmatic volume of the 20th century missiology. With an acknowledged authority in the fi eld, the author structures the size and importance of missiology in the Christian theology in general and in the Orthodox one in particular during the two important events: The World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh (Scotland, 1910) and The Pan-Orthodox Council (Crete, 2016).
