Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to demonstrate the potential of postsecular thought in the study of modern literature on the basis of two Bulgarian texts, different in form and time of writing, but signifying the frame of the interwar period: the story by Konstantin Velichkov Юда (“Judas”, 1911) and the drama by Ivan Grozev Съдний ден (“The Judgement Day”, 1939–1940). The analysis focuses on the cryptotheologies of the writers deconstructed on the basis of the meanings evoked by the event of the Crucifixion and in this context – the fate of the Betrayer.
