Summary/Abstract: Regarding the way Saint Gregory Palamas interacts with the Holy Scripture we notice that he is similar to other Great Fathers of the Church before him, for the reason that, when he refers to the word of God expressed in the Scriptures, he constantly seeks the correct exposition of the dogmas or the spiritual benefit of his readers; and he is not concerned about doing critical exegesis on the text. This study presents some particular aspects which reveal the mode Saint Gregory Palamas approaches the Holy Scripture: the view on the corpus of the writings contained in the Holy Scripture as a unitary whole, the adjectives used for describing the Scripture, the quotation from the text or the simple references to a certain passage, the revealing character of the Bible and the authority of its content and the personal interaction of Saint Gregory Palamas with the truth expressed by the Holy Scripture.
