Summary/Abstract: The emerging literary theology is based above all on a centuries-old tradition. From the philosophy and literary studies of the modern age, it takes on a critical reflection of the phenomena of religion and social views. Thanks to their methodological flexibility and the ability to evaluate religious experiences or the transcendent dimension of life in a more versatile and more insightful way, literary theology basically solves those in the first half and in the middle of the twentieth century. Century common term Christian literature. As a method of literary research, literary theology opens up new possibilities for the development of new semantic and structural layers in the structure of Lithuanian literature.
