Abstract

The basic challenges and criteria of spiritual education of students are determined. It was emphasized that the works of Ukrainian literature, in particular the sentimental novels and short stories of Gregory Kvitka-Osnovyanenko, play an important role in the system for concluding a scale of universal human values. It is noted that the artistic text encourages spiritual purification. The analysis was carried out on the example works by G. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko. It is emphasized that G. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko as a new-time writer no longer applies the principles of four-dimensional methods of interpreting the Bible as a stylistic and formative dominant in the process of artistic creation of the Christian model of the world. However, the Bible is present in the author's artistic texts at the level of allusions, reminiscences, paraphrases. G. Kvitka-Osnovyanenko by depiction of reality, as well as baroque artists such as, for example, Ioannikiy Galyatovskiy or Grigoriy Skovoroda, within the limits of the canons of biblical hermeneutics, shared the ambient «heavenly» and «earthly» spheres. The writer preferred the «heavenly» that a person can achieve after biological death, which he was not aware of as end, but as the beginning of a new existence.
