Dostoevsky Through the Eyes of the Gospel

Dostoevsky Through the Eyes of the Gospel: From the Underground to the ResurrectionWhat happens when you read the novelist beloved by Nietzsche, Camus, and Freud through the light of grace? This book begins with Dostoevsky himself-a man who returned from the scaffold and survived four years of Siberia with a single New Testament-and reads his major works, from Notes from Underground and Crime and Punishment to The Idiot, Demons, and The Brothers Karamazov, through the evangelical vision of Tim Keller, John Stott, and John Piper.
Why is sin irrational? Why does the good man fail to save the world? Is God innocent before the tears of a child? The questions these novels flung a century and a half ago fall exactly over our own. By reflecting the familiar language of the gospel in the strange mirror of great fiction, this book lets the oldest story-sin and grace, cross and resurrection-be heard again as if for the first time.
