SAVINE BESEDE U STUDENICI I ŽIČI U DOMENTIJANOVOM „ŽITIJU SVETOG SAVE“

Abstract

This work examines The Life of Saint Sava by Domentian, three orations more precisely which Saint Sava enounced – two of them in Studenica and one in Žiča. We are especially interested in the rhetorical dimension of Sava’s orations, and his opinion about the world and life also, since he was the first Serbian enlightener and philosopher within the framework of Orthodox theology. We concluded that Sava’s orations were great examples of preached and testified theology. His orations were distinguished by its charismatic character and its widest ecclesial dimensions, such as the theology of the Holy Fathers of Orthodoxy through the ages.
