Dumitru Staniloae (Romanian: [du'mitru st?ni'lo?aje]; 29 November [O.S.
16 November] 1903 – 5 October 1993) was a Romanian Orthodox Christian priest, theologian and professor.
He worked for over 45 years on a comprehensive Romanian translation of the Greek Philokalia, a collection of writings on prayer by the Church Fathers, together with the hieromonk, Arsenie Boca, who brought manuscripts from Mount Athos.
His book, The Dogmatic Orthodox Theology (1978), made him one of the best-known Christian theologians of the second half of the 20th century.
He also produced commentaries on earlier Christian thinkers, such as St Gregory of Nyssa, Saint Maximus the Confessor, and St Athanasius of Alexandria.
