Document Details : Title: Il gesuita romeno Vasile Bărbat nel vortice del secolo XX Author(s): VALMARIN, Luisa Journal: Orientalia Christiana Periodica Volume: 91 Issue: 2 Date: 2025 Pages: 505-516 DOI: 10.2143/OCP.91.2.3295418 Abstract : An important monograph by Laura Stanciu, Greco-Cattolici dietro la Cortina di Ferro. Vasile Bărbat nel vortice del secolo XX focuses on Fr. Vasile Bărbat (1925-1963) and the work he accomplished during his brief but intense life. Both as a scholar and as a priest he was engaged in the Greek-Catholic Church’s resistance to communism, including his work with the Romenians in exile. Fr. Bărbat’s personal and spiritual story is projected onto the historical context that forms the backdrop to his biography, highlighting his scholarly contribution to the redefinition of the controversial figure of the so-called 'bishop’s theologian'. |
