Dostoevsky by The Rt Hon Rowan Williams
There is an unresolved tension in Dostoevsky's novels - a tension between believing and not believing in the existence of God. This book enables us to consider the nature of God in the 21st Century through the lens of Dostoevsky's novels.
"'The Archbishop of Canterbury has written a book on Dostoevsky which illuminates the real operations of religion in human minds' AN. Wilson, Times Literary Supplement 'Rowan Williams is an excellent literary critic. He makes you want to read, or reread, everything that Dostoevsky wrote. The books that he describes are spacious enough to contain a whole world, and beautiful enough to serve as icons that illuminate ours' The Guardian 'Although Rowan Williams is very modest about his credentials in writing an important book on Dostoevsky, it is difficult to think of anyone who is better qualified... a remarkable contribution to understanding not just Dostoevsky, but what it might involve to be a religious believer in the world today' Richard Harries, Church Times "...a real feeling for literary narrative... a profound and thought provoking book" Salley Vickers, The Times"
The Rt. Hon. and Most Reverend Rowan Williams is Archbishop of Canterbury. He was formerly Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford and Archbishop of Wales.
