The study deals with Professor J. Mistrík’s terminology used in his interpretation of religious texts. It is proved that at the beginning of 1990’s, J. Mistrík identifies the term religious style, which is specific for its attributes such as its connection with a sacral sphere, subjectivity, rituality as well as functional and formal disparity, applying the means from various semiotic fields etc. However, later on, in the last edition of his Stylistics, he leaves this term aside and explains the whole group of communicates from this sphere by the means of more specific terms (the so called secondary styles). Moreover, he explicitly defines liturgical, homiletic and biblical style. The author observes that J. Mistrík realizes that these styles depend on the nature of concrete religion (sometimes called as the hagiolects of particular religious systems), but he also emphasizes the existence of certain universal features and means of this style or these styles regardless of a religious type.
