Abstract

Michael Weber’s book is a description of Father Dumitru Staniloae’s theology about “Spiritual Man”. In this context, the interest of the Lutheran author is concentrated on the notion of grace in the work of the great Romanian theologian. Michael Weber is convinced that the theology of grace and the theology about Christian holiness in Father Staniloae’s work in the spirit of Holy Father. This has a great significance in the context of the ecumenical dialogue. Beyond this, Weber’s book signifies an insightful endeavor, meritorious to draw on Staniloae’s path in relation to the historical time, when Father Staniloae lived and worked (Weber’s subtitle: a theological attempt which takes into consideration the social-cultural plan at the bottom of Staniloae’s life) thus, the German readers find in Weber’s book a comprehensive exposure of Romanian history of the XXth century around Father Staniloae’s work – in a biographical, political, cultural, intellectual, theological and ecumenical way.
