This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

More BROS K
I'm starting to write the Bible Study on Father Zossima's speech, and it is simply the best argument for Christianity I've ever read. I don't know how you can't experience God in and through these words. Every time I read them, my faith is strengthened and God becomes very apparent to me.

I'm slogging through Bros. K., how far in is this speech? I'm finding it very murky and difficult going.
ReplyDeleteHis (Dostoyevsky's) description of the lives of the peasants makes me wonder why it took until 1917 for the revolution to happen.
I think it is 1/3 of the way through the book, or so. His description is pretty accurate, too. Remember, this whole book is a reflection upon his father's actual murder.
