Adoption of Western Four-Sense Biblical Hermeneutics by Ukrainian Baroque Literature

Keywords: biblical hermeneutics, Holy Scriptures, Ukrainian baroque literature, the four-dimensional method of biblical hermeneutics, theological literature.

Abstract

The study outlines general principles of biblical hermeneutics influence on the poetics of Ukrainian baroque prose. The Bible perceived by ancient writers as a collection of sacred books written by the Holy Spirit through the mediation of hagiographers is full of metaphors, comparisons, allegories and parables that needed clarification. Biblical hermeneutics developed rules for the Bible exegesis in order to avoid false variants of interpreting the Scripture. The four-sense method of biblical hermeneutics borrowed from Western Catholic tradition helped to avoid controversial interpretation of the Holy Scripture. The immersion of Ukrainian baroque literature into the biblical domain caused its paraphrasing nature and created conditions for the development of the four-sense hermeneutics as the structure of the poetics of Ukrainian baroque prose. Principles of biblical hermeneutics, having become a monolithic core of the form and content of authors’ texts, eventually began to go beyond the actual theological literature into the field of secular arts.
