description Starting from the title question, the author tries to identify aspects of political theology in the spiritual autobiographies from the Orthodox space (especially from the 19th and 20th centuries). After presenting the main aspects that defines the genre, and, in the same time, after showing what political theology means, he emphasizes the main important elements of this topic that can be founded in the works of the aforementioned genre. Afterwards, he emphasizes the actual dimension of it and proposes a new key of lecture of the identified passages that contain elements of political theology taken from spiritual autobiography. Through these aspects, that may highlight new important ones, the author brings into attention elements that were not enlighted enough before. Although the diaries of Saint John of Kronstadt or Saint Silouan the Athonite, or the one of the Russian Philosopher Nikolai Berdiaev were not supposed to be works of political theology, they constitute important aspects for this topic and useful elements for an analysis that can show how the Gospel principles can be applied in nowadays world.
