РЕВОЛУЦИОНЕРНАТА ДИМЕНЗИЈА НА БОГОМИЛСКИОТ КОНЦЕПТ ВО ТВОРЕШТВОТО НА КОСТА РАЦИН
THE REVOLUTIONARY DIMENSION OF BOGOMIL'S CONCEPT IN KOSTA RACIN'S LITERARY WORK

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to link Racin’s position towards Bogomilism as a “new science” on the territory of Macedonia with its religious, spiritual and social orientation. Basically the Bogomils nurtured an antagonistic attitude towards the canonical teachings of the Church establishment and towards the feudal order in general. Such attitudes were expressed through already established theological and dogmatic principles and through religious teachings of a dualistic orientation, according to which all material creations identify with diabolism. In the paper we emphasise the main postulates of Bogomilism in relation to Kosta Racin's views in his famous essays on Bogomils. They actualize Bogomilism for its contemporary, socio-political and social conditions through the aspect of "the bright truth for Bogomils". According to Racin, Bogomilism as an ideology of those people, attracted broad masses into religious opposition and organized the founding resistance against the feudal lords, and with their "new science" strongly frightened the old world because it promoted an equal society.
