Abstract

This article above refers the most popular conception of Angelology which has been presented in theological consciousness for whole medieval epoch. This conception was important even at the Vatican Council period because of her actuality and fidelity to the biblical image of the Angels’ world. Such a situation seems to be a little strange after all, because real Dionysius (or Saint Denis) have written no theological book and has prepared no one theological conception, so the Author is simply unknown. In fact, even legendary connexions with the first St Paul’s Athenian pupil permitted the conception become more important in the Orthodox Theology so far not established Dionysius’ from Paris authorship opened the door to Occidental theological mind. In fact, presented conception seems to be very actual from ecumenical point of view, because there are different theological elements from the West, Occident and even from Judaism in herself.
