Abstract. The author focuses on the poorly investigated literary material: the article examines philosophical and religious problems of the novel by P?r Lagerkvist "The Sibyl". The paper shows how characters’ worldview is represented and accumulated in novel’s symbols. The researcher analyzes the important for P?r Lagerkvist’s philosophy interaction of antique and Christian symbols and argues that symbols in the novel are characterized by ambivalence which represents the spirit of doubt in faith and religion.
