Principii de hermeneutică biblică la Sfântul Maxim Mărturisitorul

Abstract

St. Maximus the Confessor excelled in four interpretative directions of the Orthodox theology: biblical, dogmatic, spiritual and liturgica. Better known as a
dogmatist involved in Christological disputes since the beginning of the sixth century, St. Maximus is less studies in terms of his contribution to the history of Eastern biblical hermeneutics. The research studies of his exegetical work are reduced numerically comparad to those that emphasiye his quality as a dogmatic, philocalic and liturgical theologian. And this may be due to the fact that St. Maximus the Confessor has not fully commented on any Old or New Testament book. In this study, the emphasis is on highlighting the hermeneutic principles used by St. Maximus especially in the works of biblical exegesis.
