Summary/Abstract: The author of the article enters the area of the rhetoric of ancient times. These were the times of the beginning and development of Christian preachers. Although many of the Church Fathers were brought up, educated and intellectually formed in the time of pagan orators, they tried to make their notion original. Thus the article brings to our attention the schemes of speeches, all of them original in their own way. It is emphasized that it is necessary to take into consideration one’s whole inner spiritual and outer material reality to form a speech or its scheme, for they are of the utmost importance for the creation of a successful and original speech.
