Summary/Abstract: The article addresses the differences in the ways in which the research issue of “lite- rature and religion” is understood and interpreted in the humanities. The focus of attention is on Polish and Bulgarian literary studies as two cases which are very different in terms of socio- -cultural, political and religious conditions. The analysis is conducted from a postsecular per- spective and serves to indicate a possible crypto-theological framework for assumptions and practices typical of the Polish and Bulgarian scholarly fields. The aim of the article is to com- ment on the cultural contexts that condition local specificities, and to show the possibilities of using those for the purposes of self-distancing and invigorating of the discipline(s).
