The Priest as Mediator in the Way to Divinization According to the Teaching of Gregory the Theologian


The article presents the teaching of Bishop Gregory the Theologian about the priesthood (ἱερωσύνη) as a mediation between God and people intending the divinization of people. Based on some of Gregory’s writings, especially his Homily 2, the author considers how Gregory came to the priestly ministry and сonducted it in the fourth­-century context and some of Gregory’s biographical data. Special attention is paid to Gregory’s theological understanding of the main functions of priesthood and the terminology he uses for their description. The author also discusses Gregory’s requirements for candidates for the priesthood and the principal virtues, which, in his opinion, a priest should possess. Gregory’s thoughts on the priesthood will be relevant and useful to all who are interested in the Church Father’s writings, especially for those who are preparing for or already performing a priestly ministry.
