The textbook presents the classic university course 'History of Foreign Literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance' in a new way, as a unity of four sections: biblical literature, Byzantine literature, Western European medieval literature, and Renaissance literature. Studying texts from the Old and New Testaments, hagiography, 'The Ladder', and spiritual poetry allows for an evaluation of the development of the Christian narrative from the 'Book of Genesis' and 'Gospel of Matthew' to 'Hamlet' and 'Don Quixote'. The religious-philosophical direction of the research, special attention to the image of Christ in complex contexts, and the key issue of salvation of the soul and the world, which is crucial for traditional Europe, allow the book to be used in the study of various humanities disciplines, including at the intersection of philology, psychology, philosophy, and theology. Those not connected to university life can read it as an introduction to Christianity - not only Western European, but also Orthodox. This professionally published edition is intended for undergraduate students studying the following disciplines: 'History of Foreign Literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance', 'Biblical Literature and Foreign Literature of the Traditionalism Era', 'European Literature of the Christian Flourishing Era', 'Bible and Foreign Literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance', 'Literature and Religion', 'History of World (Foreign) Literature. Part 2'.
