Summary/Abstract: Taras Shevchenko - the pride of the Ukrainian people, torch of the Ukrainian and foreign culture. His creative word was devastated to protect the national dignity and pushed society to recovery and self-assertion to Ukrainians as a nation. But Shevchenko's essence, in our opinion, is the brightest and most powerful found themselves in search of truth, unity of man and the ways of eternal life. The social enslavement and corruption of nation were turn him to works that have intertwined national historic era of spiritual and moral values of Christian ethical Ukrainian canons. Peculiar interpretation, philosophical understanding and interpretation T. Shevchenko Biblical truths studied by many scientists (I. Ohiyenko, B. Lepkyj, Y. Sverstyuk, D. Stepovyk, I. Dziuba, M. Zhulynsky i O. Zabuzhko and others). Shevchenko`s phenomenon is devoted to the exploration of B. Barca, E. Sverstyuk, D. Stepovyk, I. Dziuba, V. Pakharenko, D. Dmytrenko, L. Tretiak. But the problem of Shevchenko religious was as his life and work will remain relevant, especially in nowadays. Ukraine as "prophetic word" for Shevchenko had an impotent meaning and irresistible force, awakens the desire to be a real nation, and promotes spiritual and conscious development. Poet use to say to God all his global ideas, his excitement. And thiswas not a profanity, not a blasphemy. That was the sincerity and enthusiasm of the biblical heralds. Taras Shevchenko said patiently, defiantly, frankly, with bitterness and insult the Savior, then asked, then demanded with such words: "In anger he becomes a prophet, in humility transforms into as an apostle; it just goes to prayer, his humility holds in a feat of love and forgiveness, every feeling he brings to the religious fervor and in his every word. Let it be for the great national poet, priest and victim of its people", - wrote K. Chukovski .
