One of the most current trends in modern philosophical and theological science is the development of a logiko-dialectic way of reasonable thinking General as Divine. In view of the turn to religion which was outlined in a posthegelian thought, borders between philosophy and theology have undergone considerable changes towards mutual integration that is one of signs, moreover – a characteristic feature of so-called post-secular society. In this sense not only it is possible, but also it is necessary to speak about deep identity (when maintaining methodological distinction) of philosophy and theology.The problem of human thinking of God, the Absolute is of special interest, that is called Knowledge of God in divinity (Bogopoznany or Bogoobshcheny) that, actually makes an essence, and forms a divinity form, makes and shows his opportunity, and there is a divinity mainly. God is a prototype of the person, people arethe God’s image. The person is “logian”; he is the created image of Logos. Through the person (and within the person) all the existence finds itself as logocentric that is the purpose of all things.In patristic divinity the general dialectics of rescue as the process and the result of Bogoobshcheniya’s is developed; the increase of human spirit in Christ Jesus, that is overcoming antinomies in spirit. Thus, the concrete identity – unity of thinking and life in Christ is established that is possible only while overcoming thinking in the form of representation, at the ascension of thinking of God and in God in the form of a concept, and further – it is infinite as the ideas of Christianity in its own concreteness, that is in Christ, in the Holy Spirit, in the Blessed Trinity.
