Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev): The Gospel of Dostoevsky

We are delighted to announce the publication by Éditions des Syrtes of L’Évangile de Dostoïevski (The Gospel of Dostoevsky), a compelling study of the spiritual and theological foundations of the great Russian novelist’s work.

Through a subtle analysis of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s masterpieces and of the historical context of the nineteenth century, Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeyev) brings to light the central influence of the New Testament on the shaping of his characters and the resolution of their moral dilemmas.

A true key to understanding Dostoevsky’s thought and soul, this essay invites readers to a profound and timeless rediscovery of his novels.

The book is available at the cathedral bookstall.
