The Dostoevsky scholar Robert Louis Jackson said that Dostoevsky's becoming is of course our own becoming; to know Dostoevsky has been to know our own century and ourselves. This work pursues this notion while elucidating the spiritual realism of Dostoevsky's biblically charged literature. The 19th century writer came to be regarded by many readers in the 20th century as a prophet. But how does Dostoevsky remain prophetic for us now, in the 21st century?;This text explores and assesses Dostoevsky's critique of modernity, with particular focus on the Grand Inquisitor in "The Brothers Karamazov", where his prophetic vision finds its most intense expression. Kroeker and Ward show how Dostoevsky's work can help us to remember who we are in this moment in which - as individuals and members of communities - we are required to make critical choices about the meaning of justice, history, truth and happiness. The book should be of interest to readers in comparative literature, ethics, political theory, philosophy, religious studies and theology.
