Summary/Abstract: The subject of this paper is the terminology from the sphere of Orthodox spirituality. In the first part, earlier research in this field is described and the main conclusions and achievements are outlined. The terms of this field in contemporary Serbian are divided into the terminological (sub)systems. Some of them are presented completely and described semantically in greater detail. At the end, we indicate the research that we think is necessary to be done in the future, in order to complete the inventorisation of the terms and their description from various linguistic aspects. In this way, Serbian theolinguistics and linguistics in general can be expanded and enriched with new achievements.
