Abstract

As a canon book of the European culture and civilization the
Bible has enriched the world literature by numerous symbols,
images, figures, parables, comparisons, traditions and legends.
Biblical themes are frequent motif in Croatian literature too, in
the past as well as today. The work lays stress on the Biblical
Trilogy of Miro Gavran (Judith, the Baptizer, Pontius Pilate) in
which some actual issues of our time are re-examined through the
Biblical symbols and figures, but, at the same time, reflects the
profoundness and intensity of the author’s search for a better and
just world.
