    STUDIA THEOLOGIA%20ORTHODOXA - Issue no. 1 / 2011  
         
  Article:   THE EUCHOLOGION (MOLITVELNIC) OF BALGRAD (1689) AND THE RECTOR IOAN ZOBA FROM VINŢU DE JOS.

Authors:  ALEXANDRU MORARU. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This study presents an orthodox divine service book, Molitvelnic, which was published at Alba Iulia for the first time in 1698 and re-edited in the same city in 2009 at the initiative of the Archbishop Andrei of Alba Iulia; it is written in Romanian and it was translated for the first time from Slavonic by the rector Ioan Zoba from Vinţu de Jos, a cultivated man of the XVIIth century; even if the text of this church book is purely orthodox, until nowadays the author of the translation (Ioan Zoba) is suspected of filo-Calvinism (because he had good relations with the Calvin Hungarian prince of Transylvania, as well as with representatives of the Calvin-Reformat Church), because he might have worked for the calvinization of the Orthodox Church of this region.

Keywords: The Euchologion (Molitvelnic) of Balgrad (1689), Rector Ioan Zoba from Vinţu de Jos, filo-Calvinism in Transylvania, XVIIth century.
