Summary/Abstract: Church, State and Nation. Historical Images and Historiography. This study aims to present the images of the church in relation to the state and to the concept of nation, as they were rooted in the Romanian historical consciousness following the historiographical debate, but also the propagation of the identity discourse of the churches and the contribution of the ideas formulated by philosophers of culture. The beginnings of the relations between church and state coincide with the birth of the state itself, and nationalism of modern and contemporary epochs has decisively marked the dynamics of this relationship, influencing both the self-image of the church and the general view on its role in politics and society.
