  Article:   MIRCEA ELIADE’S CORRESPONDENCE WITH METROPOLITAN VASILE SUCIU.

Authors:  LUCIAN TURCU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  The present study takes into account the epistolary dialogue between Mircea Eliade and the Greek-Catholic metropolitan Vasile Suciu. In fact, we have two letters sent the young philosopher from Bucharest to the high hierarch in order to receive from him the volumes of theology whose author he was. The study analyses the cultural context in which Mircea Eliade was placed in the third decade of the twentieth century, the self-characterization that he presents, but also the way in which he justifies the interest towards studying and knowing the Eastern theology. Moreover, Vasile Suciu’s theological work is commentated, also investigating its doctrinal identity, which made some intellectuals (among them being Mircea Eliade) believe that it is representative for the theological reflection of the Eastern Church.
