Summary/Abstract: The paper examines the often neglected in contemporary culture Parable of the talents. The main accent is given to its theological-interpretative aspect and also to its meanings into a wider culturological context. We indicate projections of the parable in the literature of the Bulgarian Revival, but the emphasis is on its modern messages, which could be ethical benchmarks for human rights and the values of its existence. Such updating of the interpretation of Jesus’ parable of the talents can be useful to theologians and teachers of cultural anthropological disciplines.
