The Relationship between Tradition and Innovation in Romanian Orthodox Dogmatic Theology and the Place of Dogma in this Regard

Summary/Abstract: The recent years have highlighted with great pressure the need for Orthodox theology to come up with fresh, creative and living thinking, for deepening the profoundmeanings of its dogmas in response to the spiritual and cultural interrogations, fearsand needs of the present times. The Romanian theology takes over the theologicalhermeneutics, checked in the early Church, as balance, paradoxical and comprehensive formulas. Through them the Church may take into account the unilateralpositions that have arisen or may arise anytime. These comprehensive or paradoxical formulas have the gift to take some unilateral meanings of faith, and fi t theminto a unifi ed vision. Thus Orthodox theology is aware of its values but also of itsresponsibilities in a time of growing manifestation of the complex phenomenon ofsecularization.
