The work entitled Organization of the Romanian Orthodox Church in South Dobrogea (1913-1940) represents a comprehensive monograph of church life in the South Dobrogea region. This has as object of research and analysis the eparchial canonical affiliation and the territorial organizational structure of the four deaneries and the component parishes within the Durostor and Caliacra counties. The scientific approach undertaken by the author is supported by a consistent documentation and a pertinent analysis of the specialized literature.

The thesis is in the line of research regarding the knowledge of the Christian life, with all its confusions, from the Dobrogean space, in a well-defined period, full, however, of convulsions and changes. It is worth noting that the author has done a special job to reproduce as faithfully as possible the situation of the church administrative units, both in terms of their organization and in their actual life, with details related to the activity of archpriests, priests and staff servant The rich bibliography gives a note of authenticity and supports the scientific character of the work.

The author presents us with an interesting and current topic, which makes the work very well received. It is, moreover, the first work of this kind that deals in depth with an important stage in the life of our Church. In recent years, a series of scientific works have appeared that address the history of South Dobrogea - Quadrilater, especially the administrative and political organization. Old man Florin Dionisi completes the list of those who tackled such a topic, with very good results for a pioneering work. We appreciate the effort put in, but also the serious and thorough research of the topic.

In the present book, entitled The Organization of the Romanian Orthodox Church in Southern Dobrogea (1913‑1940), a very topical subject for national and universal church historiography is treated and it abundantly fills a gap felt in our specialized literature regarding Dobrogea of the South, in a period of great historical-political upheavals in South-Eastern Europe, from the first half of the 20th century.
The scientific approach of the author has in mind the detailed presentation of the organization of the ecclesiastical institutions of South Dobrogea at the eparchial, archtopepscal level, of the parish circumscriptions, but also of the human component in the parishes. The author brings more knowledge of the church life in Southern Dobrogea, by supplementing the information for the entire period of 1913-1940 with data from the Archive of the Archdiocese of Tomis, where he researched files from the funds of the diocesan administration, of the archpriests and parishes in the southern Dobrogean territory , to which were added documents from the National Archives of the Ilfov County Directorate, where he researched files from the funds of the prefectures of Durostor and Caliacra, institutions that subordinated the entire administration of the two counties of South Dobrogea. The collection of the eparchial magazine Tomis is not overlooked either, which represents a real source of information in the field of research on this topic and which captures important aspects of the life of the Dobrogean Church.
The current work falls within the corridor of scientific research in the field of historical theology, being based mainly on archival documents, which also constitutes the importance and topicality of the research done by the author. This theme was little addressed in the Romanian church historiography; only partially and occasionally. Through his writing, the author brings to the attention of specialists and the general public a well-articulated historical synthesis, in a unique, real and objective manner, regarding the life and church administration in Southern Dobrogea during the period when this territory belonged to the Romanian Orthodox Church.
