Baptists from Romania and the Revolution of December 1989

Abstract

The Revolution of December 1989 had a significant impact on, and played a special role in, Romanian society, both through the overthrow of totalitarianism and the events that followed. Starting with these aspects, this study aims to explore this event, highlighting the role played by Christians and the Baptist churches in particular. From the desire for freedom, including religious freedom, to concrete actions of protest, emotional support, or discourses expounding the role of God in these events, I observe a strong desire for change, followed by involvement in society on social, educational, or political levels.
