Abstract
In Byzantine society, which throughout its thousand-year history has
followed the path of eternal salvation, the word “culture” also meant “education,
teaching and upbringing in order to lead a certain way of life.” Byzantine
theologians have always had a deep respect for knowledge and recognized the
special value of education, and above all they valued knowledge in the field of
grammar and rhetoric. Without such knowledge, they argued, it was impossible
to understand the Scriptures, to acquire the skills to argue with pagans and
heretics, and even more to create original works in the field of spiritual
literature. It is important to note that Byzantine education, unlike Western
education, was not in the hands of the church. Although certain ecclesiastical
disciplines were taught in Byzantine schools, they remained generally secular.
The education system itself was very reminiscent of the ancient. Therefore, the
gradual disappearance of pagan beliefs did not contribute to the disappearance
of ancient literature and philosophy. They have passed through the centuries
and survived to our time.
