- Abstract
The Holy Scripture is a way of re-grafting ourselves onto eternity, while the Holy Liturgy is another way of achieving our rooting in eternity, since Eastern theology professes a foretasting of eternity, even during our temporal existence. There is an indissoluble bond between the Holy Scripture and the Holy Liturgy, as through the work of the Holy Spirit, the Scripture becomes a way of epitomizing the Word. Therefore, the Holy Scripture must not be approached exclusively from the standpoint of contemporary methodology, because by so doing its revealed dimension is ignored. The return to Tradition, to the writings of the Holy Fathers, demonstrates the possibility of the Word's incarnation and provides examples of genuinely Christian life and avowal of faith. The Fathers were constantly preoccupied with identifying and assuming/embodying the spiritual sense of the Holy Scripture. The meaning of the Scripture, the living word of God, is revealed to man only together with the knowledge of God, through the Holy Spirit, when the soul is released from the "material confusion"; this cleansing, opening the soul for the encounter with the Spirit, is achieved mainly in the Holy Liturgy.
