Abstract

The Bible is, next to the achievements of antiquity, one of the most im­portant foundations of European culture and has had a significant impact on people who encountered it. It is the holy book for Christians and for Jews, while also being a source of universal themes, inspiring various areas of our lives. For centuries, biblical themes are the inspiration for artists, and the Bible itself, following the words of Professor Anna Świderkówna, “has entered so deeply into our art, our literature, our mentality, our vo­cabulary that we cannot deny this heritage even if we tried.” In this con­text, as mentioned above, and the nature of this cultural studies journal, the theme in the current issue is the role the Bible has played in culture. A look at this issue has been taken from the perspective of Polish and for­eign (Ukrainian) researchers.
