Summary/Abstract: The monuments of the didactical genre of Carpathian provenance represent quite simple and unambiguous interpretations of the scriptures about morality and the way of righteous life. Homily as a genre focuses on educating listeners and supporting them on the right path of life. The awareness of one’s own sin nature, the struggle with it, and the attainment of the ideal, generally taken as a choice between good and evil, are the main themes of any interpretation of evangelical readings. In this context, it is necessary to properly understand the value system of medieval man and to define the basic concepts that determine his relations with people and God. In the article, the author deals with the concepts of God, good, justice, evil and sin.
