Join Fr. Bogdan Bucur, a scholar of patristics, and Dr. Răzvan Porumb, director at the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, as they delve into Nicolae Steinhardt's life. They discuss his transformation from a dissident persecuted by communism to a beacon of joy found in Christianity. Steinhardt’s 'Journal of Joy' emphasizes faith, freedom, and moral courage over legalism. The conversation highlights his experiences in prison, including a clandestine baptism, and critiques of modernity that resonate today. Ultimately, they explore how joy can be a powerful resistance.
