Abstract

Religious Freedom and Romanian Adventism in The Period 1870-1946.
The end of the 19th century corresponded to the propagation of the Adventist message in the Romanian space. As ideas do not consider borders, both Little Romania (Wallachia, Moldova and Dobrogea) and the other Romanian provinces (Transylvania, Banat and Bukovina) were confronted with the Advent message through foreign preachers. Not without difficulties, this message penetrated the population, leading to the emergence of Romanian Adventism.
