HOMILETIC GUIDANCE OF ST. AUGUSTINE AND THE INTERPRETATIONS OF THE BIBLE IN «THE DIDACTIC GOSPEL» BY KYRYLO TRANGUILION STAVROVETSKY

Abstract

The present article explores the general patterns of the Kyrylo Tranquilion Stavrovetsky’s homilies based on the rules of formal homiletics. St. Augustine treatise «De Doctrina Christiana» («On the Christian Doctrine») are of key importance for indicating the basic patterns of the homily writing. A growing body of literature recognizes the importance of studying the homiletic theory. A much-debated question is what narrative strategy father Kyrylo used in his homilies. The aim of the article is to explore general patterns of the Stavrovetsky’s homilies, to descry the most common patterns of the Bible texts’ interpretation. The methodological base of the research implies to hermeneutics and St. Augustine’s interpretation of the Bible studies. The most interesting finding is that both St. Augustine and Kyrylo Tranquilion Stavrovetsky employ faith in understanding the creed. In the treatise, «De Doctrina Christiana», St. Augustine writes the set of instructions how to recognize the divine truth through hermeneutics and utter it in the homily. He actually develops the homiletic rules and prescribes narrative strategies of Scripture interpretation. Kyrylo Tranquilion Stavrovetsky in his turn creates the homilies where on the typological level of formal homiletics those instructions are identified. His homilies mainly consists of two parts: the first contains a literal interpretation of the biblical text, and the second places this interpretation in the universal outlook.The innovation of the article lies in its subject: there is little research on comparable study of the Bible and «The Didactic Gospel» by Kyrylo Tranquilion Stavrovetsky. This study might be used in further exploration of the homilies from “The Didactic Gospel” and in comparative studies of the Bible.
