The representation of Sophia – personified God’s Wisdom, based on the text of old-testament Sapiental Books, took quite an important place in the spiritual culture of Byzantium. What should be noted is the Empire inhabitants’ striving to identify Wisdom with one of the persons of Trinity. A vast majority of the Church Fathers and later East Christian thinkers inclined towards christological interpretation of Sophian images. The Second Hypostasis – the Word Incarnate, was identified with Sophia by Justin Martyr, Athenagoras of Athens, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Methodius of Olympus, Eusebius of Caesarea, Cyril of Jerusalem, Athanasius of Alexandria, Gregory of Nazianzus, Gregory of Nyssa, Cyril of Alexandria, Theodoret of Cyrus, Anastasius of Sinai, Patriarch Germanus of Constantinople, St. Theodore of Stoudios, Symeon the Metaphrast, St. Simeon the New Theologian, and Philotheos Kokkinos – author of three extensive educational works devoted to Sapiental metaphors, presented in the Book of Proverbs. Several other apologists preferred to identify God’s Wisdom with the Holy Spirit (Theophilus of Antioch, Irenaeus of Lyons, Paul of Samosata). At the same time in the Byzantine theology emerged a completely abstract interpretation of Sophia, based on the views of Saint Basil the Great, Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Maximus the Confessor. Its highlight was to be a theory, proposed by Gregory Palamas in the fourteenth century, according to which Sophia should be understood primarily as one of the uncreated energies of God.

Gregory Palamas creates philosophical and theological synthesis, which originates from his own mystical experience of hesychasm. Palamas claims that man can participate in non created, eternal energeiai of God, which are the external activities ofGod’s uosia – essence. Palamas says that all things participate in God, and they are constituted by this participation, they do not, however, participate in His nature, but in Hisactivity. A man participates in God’s eternal activities and in this way can achieve moral and ontic perfectness.

The purpose of this study is to present the role of the Holy Fathers in the dialogue between the Orthodox and the Muslims. The first part of the article talks about the mission of St. Cyril in Baghdad Caliphate in historical perspective. It deals with his dialogue with Islam and presents an analysis of the arguments used by both sides. In the second part I talk about the dialogue of St. Gregory Palamas with Muslims in the context of the mission of Cyril, comparing the arguments of both fathers and their attitudes towards the dialogue with Islam. Finally, the theory of the “biblical roots of Europe” is addressed, drawing on the example of the above mentioned Holy Fathers. In the article some excerpts from Palamas’works are published in Polish for the first time.
