The Theological Review was established in 1907 at the initiative and under the guidance of Dr. Nicolae Bălan, at that time professor at the Orthodox Theological Institute in Sibiu, the future Metropolitan of Transylvania (Ardeal). It was suppressed because of political reasons between 1947 and 1956 and reissued starting with 1956 under the title “Mitropolia Ardealului.” The journal was published again under its original name since 1991.

The Theological Review is a quarterly journal. It is issued in March, June, September and December of every year.

The Theological Review publishes only peer-reviewed original contributions (see https://www.revistateologica.ro/peer-review/?lang=en ).

The Theological Review publishes contributions authored by Romanian or international authors of Orthodox or other confessions, either in the classical fields of theology (biblical, historical, systematic or practical) or from an ecumenical, inter- and transdisciplinary perspective. The Section “Patristics” publishes short Church Fathers’ texts in Romanian translation with scientific introductions. The Section “Church and Ecumenical News” published ecumenical texts in Romanian translation, accompanied by commentaries and short reviews and news about the newest ecclesial events. Finally, The Ecumenical Review publishes book reviews on the newest books published in field of theology and religious studies.
