On Interpretation of the Name of God in the Lord’s Prayer

The article discusses specifics of nomination of the name of God in the text of the Lord’s Prayer taking into account the unique interpretation of this prayer by St. Maximus the Confessor in his exegetical heritage. Because addressing God for St. Maximus the Confessor is connected with Trinitarian theology, there is a problem of evaluation of such interpretation in the context of modern exegesis. It is stated that such interpretation cannot be considered as a version of eisegesis or example of patristic Trinitarian theology of the 7th century, which is based on images and symbolic speech that allows avoiding a diachronic mistake. The problem is studied through the prism of interaction of three spaces of language: semantic, semiotic and conceptual. This technique is often used within the framework of the linguacultural approach, whose possibilities he author has demonstrated in a series of other articles. The analysis shows the Lord’s Prayer to be the important semiotic core in the composition of the Sermon on the Mount. Due to this position, the valuable semantic space of this sermon linked with the evangelical linguistic picture of the world must imply a unique conceptual content in the name of God, which is presented in the work of St. Maximus the Confessor.
