Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the investigation of peculiarities of functioning of evangelist topical imagery material in the 20th century Ukrainian literature. It is for the first time that in Ukrainian literary studies the most serious and reliable attempt to analyze socio-ideological, philosophical, moral psychological and literary aspects of the transformation of evangelist collisions in Ukrainian literature has been undertaken. The system of motivations of evangelist materials in the context of functioning of comprehensive cultural tendencies in Ukrainian literature has been, in particular, analyzed here. Much heed has been paid to the problem of specifying the forms and means of transformation of evangelist structures in Ukrainian literature taken into consideration some tragic processes of evolution in national spirituality. We also study some continuations, additions, processing, renderings and processes of apocryphalizing and philosophical aesthetic modeling in Ukrainian literature. The prevailing accent is concentrated upon the analysis of ontological axiological dominance in the images of Jesus Christ, Judas Iscariot, Pontius Pilate.
