Abstract

The article examines the understanding of St. Gregory of Nazianzenus of the ontological status of God. There are three basic approaches in Gregory thought (ontical, ontological and transcendent) which represent different ways of describing the divine. Based on Exodus 3.14, Gregory prefers ontological approach but at the same time using the other two.
