The article dwells upon the analysis of the doctrine of the faith developed by Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom) based on his homiletical heritage. The relevance of the study is due to the growing interest of theologians, philologists and other scientists in recent years in the preaching activities of the Sourozh archpastor and the need to identify in his homiletical heritage specific features that contribute to the successful work of evangelical preaching, instructing his flock in the true faith and teaching correct spiritual
life. The purpose of the study is to show the peculiarities of revealing the theme of faith in the sermons of Metropolitan Anthony, delivered by him on the feasts of the Lord. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the detailed analysis of the structure and definition of the form of Metropolitan Anthony’s sermons, as well as in the reflection of the relationship between his doctrinal and moral instructions in the process of revealing his designated topic. The hermeneutic method was used in the analysis and interpretation of sermon texts; the comparative theological method was used to identify the main features of the author’s exegesis proposed by Metropolitan Anthony for some texts of the Holy Scriptures and the catechetical Word for Easter of St. John Chrysostom; intertextual analysis was used to compare sermons and biblical texts. As a result of the study, it was revealed that Metropolitan Anthony (Bloom) reveals the theme of faith in various aspects: faith as a person’s trust in God; faith of God in man; faith as a synergistic movement of God and man; faith as a person’s struggle with his or her internal contradictions; faith as responsibility; actualization of faith through love.
