Summary/Abstract: The study aims to reproduce and analyze two letters that Mircea Eliade addressed to Metropolitan Bishop Vasile Suciu in 1928, shortly before Eliade went to study in India. We will try to answer some questions raised by the material at hand: the motivation of this epistolary exchange, its purpose (we do not have Suciu's answer), the nature of the relationship between Mircea Eliade and Vasile Suciu and their theological common objectives. At the same time, this paper also highlights Eliade's interest in Christian mysticism on the one hand and the importance of Vasile Suciu as a dogmatist on the other hand.
