“…Modern researchers reveal semiotic aspects in completely different fields of knowledge, so we can say that semiotics claims to be the metalanguage of science. We can mention the works of the following authors that demonstrate the interdisciplinary level of semiotics: Gilles Merminod , Marcel Burger (2020) [2], Gabrielle Hodge, Lindsay N. Ferrara, Benjamin D. Anible (2019 article) [3], Hamed Goharipour (2019 article) [4], Valerio Targon (2018) [5], Marianne Nabil Guirguis, Khaled M. Dewidar, Shaimaa M. Kamel, Maged F. Iscandar (2018) [6], Søren Brier (2017) [7], Oana Culachea, Daniel Rareș Obadă (2014) [8], Kirsten L.

The methods of study and presentation by S. Averintsev Orthodox Christian tradition were considered. The role of the semiotic method in the study of Christianity by Averintsev was defined and the relationship of this method and content of the results of his research was revealed. The identified errors in the presentation of Orthodox theology are considered as the result of ignoring a number of significanat texts of the Orthodox tradition. Methods: description, comparison, analysis, contextual and semiotic analysis. It is established that semiotics is an actual direction of study in modern science, and the semiotic method was used by Averintsev in the study of early Byzantine literature. In particular, the scholar used diffusive and functional approaches when considering texts, paying attention to the context of the use of a language unit, which is a sign of the semiotic method. Errors of S.S. Averintsev in the presentation of Orthodox theology (in sophiology and mariology) are the result of incorrect application of the semiotic method, ignoring the essential texts that create the context of the studied tradition. The analysis of the semiotic approach used By S. S. Averintsev in the study of culture, presented in this article, has not been carried out before. It is concluded that all essential texts of the tradition must be taken into account for authentic presentation of Orthodox theology, which is facilitated by the use of the semiotic method.
