Article The Bible in Polish Modexn Litexatuxe contains reflections on the period 1945–f009, especially about an essay on the Bible written by laics, staying on more or less catholic position. Almost all were poets: Roman Brandstaetter (1906–1987), Jan Dobraczyn´ski (1910–1994), Anna Kamien´ska (19f0–1986), Czesław Miłosz (1911–2004), Marek Skwarnicki (◆1930), Anna Świderko´wna (1925–2008), Tadeusz Żychiewicz (19ff–1994) and others. These authors began to study the Bible in the middle of their lives, when they were ripe to discuss theological and existential problems of the Holy Scripture. In the contrast to them there are the writers staying on the atheistic or agnostic position: Zenon Kosidowski (1898–1978), Artur San- dauer (1913–1989). Only one author, A. S´ widerko´wna, was really a specialist in a biblical branch as the professor of the ancient mediterranean archaeology on the Warsaw University. She could write series her books Convexsations on the Bible which became the bestseller in the end of f0th century. For all biblical essayists a very important issue was the philological question connected to the langauge of the Bible and with the „semantic energy” of translation (Miłosz). The biblical essayists used the old polish Bible (1600) translation of Jacob Wujek SI or modern grouptranslation made 1965 in Benedictiner Abbey in Tyniec (by Cracow). Beyond a communistic censorship in years 1945–1989 all mentioned writers could publish their articles and books. The most important center of these initiatives was Cracow (weekly „Tygodnik Powszechny” and monthly „Znak”, also publisher), Warsaw (Publisher Pax), Posen.
