Abstract
The article deals with Maximus the Confessor’s polemics with Tritheism. It focuses on analysis of one place in his Centuries on Charity (Char. 2.29). Sources are identified and analyzed, together with Maximus’ “policy” of citation. Comparison is made between some key elements of Maximus’ and Philoponus’ Trinitarian teaching and the way Maximus appropriated the Trinitarian doctrine of the Cappadocians (mainly Gregory of Nazianzus) is analyzed. The article also demonstrates the importance of Maximus’ polemics against the Tritheists in the development of his Trinitarian teaching. It shows that Maximus’ “paradoxical” model of the Trinity was a kind of an answer to Philoponus’ rational model.
