A review by sidharthvardhan
The Grand Inquisitor by Fyodor Dostoevsky
5.0
You know how practices of all religions degrade with time from the way they were originally supposed to be to how powerful pretenders want it to be. Perhaps this decline is natural to mankind - just look at how Abrahamic religions have fallen to pretenders after each prophet - Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Mohammad; or look at similar degradation of Hinduism and Buddhism in east.
'The Grand Inquisitor', which is but a section of Fyodor Dosteyvesky's novel 'Brothers Karamzov', documents this degradation in a incredible manner - by making the inquisitor tell Jesus that his colleagues are doomed to fall to Satan's temptations. A great feast of author's writing powers and every bit hair raising.
