Abstract

The article touches upon the issues of secularism, which is considered by Fr.Alexander Schmemann as an «anthropological heresy» that undermines the understanding of man as a being who worships God, for whom worship is the main act that simultaneously defines and shapes human nature. Liturgical theology of A. Schmemann paves the way for the actualization in our time of the true meaning and power of worship, which means the disclosure of its cosmic, ecclesiological and eschatological dimension and content. Perceiving the world as a Sacrament included in the liturgical act, one can regain the lost eucharistic being of man. The author substantiates the belonging of the theology of Alexander Schmemann to the direction of neo-patristic synthesis, which is relevant today, which has far from exhausted its creative potential.
