Abstract
Knowledge of God as Trinity for Holy Fathers is one of the most important facts in the theology of salvation of man. Knowledge of God for them was the same thing with salvation. Therefore, we find in religious writers of the 4th and 5th centuries deep fledged triadology in close connection with the gnoseology. It is confirmed by the later Fathers, such as Symeon the New Theologian or Gregory Palama, which thanks for gnoseology he developed theology of the Holy Trinity in theology of divine uncreated energies, as we know it today.
