[Pastoral Activity in the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the 20th Century – Case Study: Pastor Luca Constantinescu]

Abstract

Starting from the exploration of the life and activity of Pastor Luca Constantinescu (1901–1987), through the broader approaches from the political, social, and religious environment of the interwar and communist period, this study aims to contribute to enriching the treasure of the history of the Adventist Church in Romania. For this reason, the work is part of family history, being based on documents, many of them novel, such as publications of the Adventist World Church in the electronic archive of the General Conference, documents from the archives of the Romanian Conference Union, documents of the Security archive, articles from the press of the time, photos, etc.
