The category of time in orthodox sermons

Abstract

The article deals with the textual categories manifested in Orthodox sermons. The novelty of the work is determined by the general underdevelopment of the problem. The category of time in the Christian picture of the world is a dichotomy "temporal - eternal", where the eternal refers to the heavenly, Divine, and the temporal - to the earthly, human. The category of time in the text is inextricably linked with the category of space, and both of them together largely determine the genre uniqueness of the text.
