Summary/Abstract: The article starts with an attempt to define the notion of truth. The religious definitions mentioned in the article focus mainly on two key words describing the sense of faith, namely PEOPLE / the God and a priest / and TRUTH, which values the trustworthiness. Defining the indicators of faith in Dorota Terakowska's novels enables to estimate this phenomenon in her work. To define the faith, except the key words, the rich man's psychological sphere plays an enormous role as well as the man's needs, fears, emotions surrounding nature, the attitude to knowledge and the ways of conveying the facts about the God being employed by priests for centuries.
