Some Interests of Saint Basil the Great in the Old Testament

Summary/Abstract: This study presents the concerns of St. Basil the Great in the study area of the OldTestament. After a summary of some data in the life of St. Basil the Great, the studyfocuses on homilies of the author to the Hexaemeron and to Psalms.In homilies on Hexaemeron, Basil make an admirable picture to the world creationby God. The Homilies on creating the world have always fascinated me, which ledme to write a few appreciative words about the wonderful homilies.No less interesting are the homilies to the Psalms. For romanian people, and I thinkfor the Christian people in general, the book of psalms is the most popular of the canonical books of Holy Scripture. Therefore comments on psalms of the Holy Fathersare normative.Because the psalms include a perfect theology, ”which is useful of all”, the Churchconstantly encouraged recitation of the Psalms, the study and meditation on themtoo.All the homilies of Saint Basil the Great surprise us in a very pleasant manner,through their refi ned exegetic approach and through the practical aspects they outline. That is why we should honor him and be glad that we are the inheritors of sucha spiritual treasure.
