The essays cover such topics as temptation, grace and law, Dostoevsky's use of the gospels and hagiography, Trinitarianism, and the Russian tradition of the veneration of icons, as well as reading aloud, and dialogism. The aim of this collection is not to abstract Dostoevsky's religious `teaching' from his literary works, but to explore the interaction between his Christian faith and his writing. This collection brings together Western and Russian perspectives on the issues raised by the religious element in his work. Dostoevsky is one of Russia's greatest novelists and a major in¯uence in modern debates about religion, both in Russia and the West.
