Famous Theologians
Dumitru Stăniloae (1903–1993) is considered one of the greatest Orthodox theologians of the 20th century, having written extensively in all major fields of Eastern Christian systematic theology. One of his other major achievements in theology is the 45-year-long comprehensive series on Orthodox spirituality known as the Romanian Philokalia, a collection of texts written by classical Byzantine writers, that he edited and translated from Greek.
Archimandrite Ilie Cleopa (1912–1998), elder of the Sihastria Monastery, is considered one of the most representative spiritual fathers of contemporary Romanian Orthodox monastic spirituality.

Famous quotes containing the words famous and/or theologians:
“Sole and self-commanded works,
Fears not undermining days,
Grows by decays,
And, by the famous might that lurks
In reaction and recoil,
Makes flames to freeze, and ice to boil.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Wordsworth’s particular grace, his charisma, as theologians say, has been granted in equal measure to so very few men since time was—to Plato and who else?
The crucial thing is never what we do, but always what we do right after that. What matters is always the next step!”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
