Orthodox and Greek Catholics in Transylvania (1867-1916): Convergences and Divergences - Church History - Book

Author: Bishop Macarie Drăgoi Size:6 x 9 Pages:296 Binding: Hardbound This work attempts to capitalize on, as much as possible, the fundamental research methods and priorities of contemporary ecclesiastical history: documentary and interpretive. By opting not to treat the history of these two Romanian communities separately, but rather through the lens of their encounters—whether peaceful or contentious—this work intends to emphasize, as stated in the title, the “convergences” and the “divergences” in the ecclesiastical history of the Transylvanian Romanians between 1867 and 1916. This research aims to bring forth new contributions of a documentary kind by incorporating a wealth of archival information—heretofore unknown in ecclesiastical historiography—extracted from the documentary collections preserved by the National Archives in Transylvania, as well as in church archives, especially those in the Sibiu Archive of the Romanian Orthodox metropolitan see of Transylvania.   About the
