БОГ, ЦАР И НАРОД В ЗЛАТОСТРУЙ И ТЪРЖЕСТВЕНИК ОТ XII ВЕК
GOD, KING AND PEOPLE OF THE SHORT ZLATOSTRUY AND THE TARZHESTVENIK FROM 12TH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: The report examines the ancient Bulgarian writers' vision of the ruler, reproduced in various literary works, in which the problem of the moral strength and purity of the king is sharply posed. The idea of the "divinity of power" explored through the gaze of the compiler of the short Zlatostruy and the Tarzhestvenik from 12th-century, created in the era when Christianity was established in our country in the struggle against Old Bulgarian paganism. In the translation and in the original words are exposed pride, greed and the unrighteousness of those who have departed from God and are sins of the earthly rulers who are called to humility and repentance. The Bible and Gospel examples suggest that sin is overcome if a person, be it king or servant, is conscious and repentant to earn the forgiveness and salvation of his soul.
