The article offers an analysis of the continuity between the philosophical theology of Friedrich Schleiermacher, who attended his university course, I. V. Kireevsky and F. M. Dostoevsky, who studied the works of Slavophiles in the early 1860s, and paid special attention to the two-volume book by Kireevsky (1861), with reference to or quoting almost all of his works on the pages of works of art, as well as letters, critical articles and the “Writer’s Diary”. Particular attention is paid to the issues of Christology of these thinkers, as well as the problem of combining faith and knowledge in the formation of a religious model. The article puts forward the hypothesis about the influence leermakers the concept of “feeling God” on the formation of the storyline Zosima — Alexei (“The Brothers Karamazov”), Rogozhin — Myshkin (“The Idiot”), and the impact of developed by the German philosopher dichotomy “sense / intelligence (arithmetic)” on the inner conflict of Raskolnikov (“Crime and Punishment”).
