The Gospel in Dostoyevsky

Selections from His Works



Introduced by J. I. Packer, Malcolm Muggeridge, and Ernest Gordon

These excerpts from Dostoyevsky's greatest novels explore the devastating (yet ultimately healing) social implications of the Gospels, and vividly reveal the common thread of the great God-haunted Russian's questioning faith.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Illustrated by Fritz Eichenberg
An excellent introduction to one of the world’s most important authors, this volume vividly reveals – as none of his novels can on their own – the common thread of the great God-haunted Russian’s questioning faith. Drawn from The Brothers Karamazov, The Idiot, Crime and Punishment, and The Adolescent, the seventeen selections are each prefaced by an explanatory note. Newcomers will find in these pages a rich, accessible sampling. Dostoyevsky devotees will be pleased to find some of the writer’s deepest, most compelling passages in one volume.
Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821–1881) was born in Moscow on November 11, 1821. His father was a staff doctor at a charity hospital, and interaction with the patients was a formative factor during his early years. At the age of nine, Dostoyevsky developed epilepsy, and this too influenced his eventual literary career, as did the lost his mother to tuberculosis in 1837. In 1838, at the age of sixteen, he entered the Military Engineering Institute in St. Petersburg. A year later his father died, allegedly murdered by his own serfs.
