The research objectives are to study the features of the recluse's creativity, analyze the language of his works and identify the main aspects of the author's linguistic identity. The research hypothesis is as follows: the morphological and syntactic features of the work of Theophan the Recluse reflect the features of the author's style and his epoch as a whole. The research center is focused on the linguistic features of the texts of Saint Theophan. His works are written in the epistolary genre, which is much more common in spiritual literature compared to secular. The reason for this is that most of the Holy fathers left a significant number of letters that they wrote for their students. Some of these letters were combined into collections, and others were published as a printed publication, and here the priests addressed not to specific people, but to all who might be interested in certain issues of spiritual life. Comparative and comparative methods were chosen as the research method. As a result of the research, it was concluded that despite the author's use of a large number of outdated vocabulary, as well as complex archaic phrases, the creativity of Theophan the Recluse is characterized by a bright and expressive character, and the essence of his edifying works is available to a wide readership for a number of centuries.
