Abstract

The article is devoted to the Genesis and essence of the Christian teaching about the truth, according to its epistemological aspect from soteriological. The huge attention given by Christian theologians to the question of truth, due to the fact that a particular epistemological truth in the Christian consciousness correlates with the ontological truth that is eternally present in the divine essence, and in the person of Christ was incarnated and became complete available to the people. The author thinks that a Christian, and not an ancient understanding of the truth became the basis for the formation of scientific ontology, and Christian collegiate method of proclaiming the truth subsequently, in a secularized form, has become a benchmark for the scientific community. The main attention is paid to the analysis of the statements of the early Christian theologians on issues of truth, as well as the formation of a collegiate way of proclaiming the truth on behalf of the entire Church at the councils.
