St. Gregory, his place in the ecclesiastical tradition and theology IN MODERN Introduction During outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy the last decades in many countries in the widest circles appeared unusual interest in religious, social and universal cultural movement that emerged in the fourteenth century in the Byzantine and other Eastern European countries. In particular, it is important that this interest is awakened only among theologians and philosophers, but also among historians, art historians and researchers outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy of Byzantine and Slavic Literature. The theological and philosophical representatives of the Byzantine mystical theology, continuing the spiritual tradition of Eastern Orthodox monasticism, just in the fourteenth century, the idea of the reborn Testing knowledge of God and comprehensive study of man and human destiny that is linked to this. This approach attracts many of our contemporaries, disappointed that disunity in contemporary outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy culture exists between the mind and the senses, matter and spirit, beauty and good. On the other hand, historians of ancient Slavic countries and Russia in recent years have put a lot of effort into explaining the cultural heritage that is threatened by the Turks under Byzantine dying bequeathed South Slavic countries, and through them, the young principality Vladimirskoj. The transformation of the Principality of powerful state that was able to begin the process of liberation outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy from the Tatar yoke, would be unthinkable without the cultural and ideological influences that have come from Byzantium. An example of this can serve involvement prep. Sergius of Radonezh and Metropolitan Cyprian - ie. students Byzantine hesychasts - in the events that led to victory at Kulikovo Field. Finally, the art historian can not help but see the connection between the so-called. Paleologos renaissance of Byzantine art and Theophanes the Greek and prep. Andrei Rublev in Russia. outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy On the connection of the upsurge of creativity in the field of painting with the revival of monastic hesychasm, modern historians many spores, but no one denies the need for comparative study of monuments of art and literature works of the time to understand the true meaning of both. When comparing the world historian or historian umetnsti and Orthodox theologian, the latter is in a privileged position in the study of the fundamental of the spiritual culture of that time his chief interests coincide with the interests of the creators themselves medieval culture, which was the church culture. outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy He holds the same values and the same spiritual principles. We do not need him to prove that the icon painter, author of theological discussions and agiograf have one goal (although it occurs in different ways): to express the truth about the emergence of God in Christ, the glorified and saved the "new man." In this way, it is in the light of Orthodox theology, the significant achievements of modern literary historians, art historians and historians get the sense that the medieval writer or an author had in mind. However, the Russian Orthodox theology has not been received any adequate attention to the Byzantine period. Father George Florovsky long ago wrote about the "Western outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy captivity" of Orthodox theology in modern times, that is. during the period of Turkish rule in Greece and the Balkans, and the triumph of Western "scholar" in Russia after Peter the Great. Academic science of the nineteenth century church, which was significantly re-discovered the patristic literature of the early Church Councils and epochs, it is not able to properly take advantage of the late Byzantine theological achievements. outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy At this point, some modern - mainly Catholic - Critics' novopalamista ", ie. One group of Orthodox theologians outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy who in recent decades, renewed interest in the Pale and his teachings. These critics sometimes with satisfaction that the Orthodox Church long "forgotten" Palamas, ostensibly because there was no real "reception" of his views. Such an approach to the theology of St.. Gregory Palamas in the Orthodox outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy Tradition, without doubt, is not acceptable, even in principle, not historical. The Orthodox Church has never ceased to officially commemorate the Holy. Gregory Palamas the second week of Lent, and it is celebrated as the outstanding teacher in the Church outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy "Sinodika Orthodoxy", ie. in the first week of service PARTICULAR percent (see Greek Lenten Triodion, in Slavic triode Russian edition this service is for all practical outlet ЕЎtД›rboholy purposes out of print, but it does not because that would limit the respect
