Summary/Abstract: Knowledge of God in the teology of The Saint Three Hierarchies. Knowledge of God means for the christians a mutual personal relationship of community with Him: to know His name, His essence, His will, His sentiments and reactions, and to know them existentially, so that one receives thereby the direction, the quality, the content and the guidance of one's personal will, sentiments and ideas are subordinated to the will of God and stand at his disposal, one, s entire life is surrendered to Him, and in virtue of confidence which arises thence one acts instinctively and consciously in on spirit. The Holy Fathers Hierarcies give us the way of apofaticaly and cathafaticaly knowledge, and the way of misticaly relationship with Him through The Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ, specially in The mistical body of Christ, in The Church. The controvers with Eunomuis is the begining of the theological discours on the knowledge of Gon in orthodox spirituality. This theme is capital for the christians life in Christ.
