Abstract

Article presents on example "Comment to Gospel of Matthew" method of interpretation of Holy Scripture, which applied Saint Hilary, bishop of Poitiers. Analysis of fragments of this comment shows, that Hilary of Poitiers did not confine only to discovery in Bible of literal sense, which teaches about real facts of history, but he searched for first of all spiritual sense across applying allegory, typology, anagogia and moral sense.
