THE ROLE OF THE GOSPEL IN FYODOR DOSTOEVSKY’S WRITINGS

The research literature about Dostoyevsky is represented by two main branches: "certifying" and "decrypting". The author comes to a conclusion about inevitable imperfection of both of them. He outlines a starting principle of the author’s perception of the world, that formed the basis for his work, as the revelation of human existence before the enlightened image of Godman- the image, formed as the result of Dostoyevsky’s a profound perception of Gospel texts.
