- Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe is saturated with the hero's deep religiousness. Faith is the foundation on which he builds his life, and God is the one who gives a meaning and an aim to the experience of loneliness. The whole novel is characterized by a wealth of religious motifs. Here are the most important ones: daily reading of the Holy Scriptures and prayer, moral self-analysis. After each activity the protagonist thinks about how the Providence's intentions have been revealed in his action. Each experience is for him either a result of a committed sin (leaving his parents) or an act of Divine Providence. Religion pervades all the aspects of the hero's life. He builds a church, he erects a cross, he celebrates Sundays and Christmas. Religious practices become a source of strength and consolation for him, and also a valuable support at the moments of doubt. The hero's friendship with Friday is an important part of his life. He tries to teach him the basic truth of faith; he tells him about God's love of people, about the mystery of Redemption and about the role of the Holy Spirit in a man's life. Considering the above mentioned religious acts contained in Daniel Defoe's novel it can be stated that the novel is very valuable as a pedagogical book. Robinson Crusoe is still an important book, especially for young people looking for personal models and authorities.
