  Abstract:  The Hermeneia of Saint Basil the Great, a Living Exegetical Paradigm. The paper proposes a synthesis of hermeneutical rules used by Saint Basil the Great, understood as an exegete who realized an authentic mediation between allegoric and literal interpretation. His hermeneutics relies on the unity of the Holy Scripture. The interpreter, in his view, should come as close as possible to the thinking and spiritual life of the hagiographer. The Hermeneia of Saint Basil should not be infinitely repeated, but assumed as a paradigm of interpretation and adapted to the contemporary spiritual needs.

Keywords: St Basil the Great, unity of the Scripture, hermeneutics, paradigm
