Description

This 2-page discussion guide asks a variety of questions inspired by an excerpt from Dostoevsky’s famous novel, “The Brothers Karamazov”. In this excerpt, Ivan tells his brother Alyosha the story of the Grand Inquisitor, who arrests Jesus Christ when He returns to Earth to perform miracles. The Grand Inquisitor insists that mankind seeks a strong will to follow — not the free love that Christ demands of them. Not only will the discussion guide help you break down and better understand the story itself, but it will also prompt you to discuss a variety of questions about modern life — including whether or not you believe that mankind is capable of exerting free will and resisting tyranny! If you are looking for a fascinating story to read with family or friends, use this discussion guide to ensure that your conversation dives deep into meaningful questions!
