Book Description
‘The Grand Inquisitor’ is a short story that appears in one of Dostoevsky’s most famous works, ‘The Brothers Karamazov’, but it is often read independently due to its standalone story and literary significance. In the tale, Jesus comes to Seville during the Spanish Inquisition and performs miracles but is soon arrested and sentenced to be burned. The Grand Inquisitor informs Jesus that the church no longer needs him as they are stronger under the direction of Satan. ‘The Grand Inquisitor’ is incredibly interesting and compelling for its philosophical discussion about religion and the human condition. The main debate put forth in the poem is whether freedom or security is more important to mankind, as an all-powerful church can provide safety but requires its followers to abandon their free will. This tale remains remarkably influential among philosophers, political thinkers, and novelists from Friedrich Nietzsche and Noam Chomsky to David Foster Wallace and beyond. Dostoevsky’s writing is both inventive and provocative in this timeless story as the reader is free to come to their own conclusions. ‘The Grand Inquisitor’ should be read by anyone interested in philosophy or politics. Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881) was a famous Russian writer of novels, short stories, and essays. A connoisseur of the troubled human psyche and the relationships between the individuals, Dostoevsky’s oeuvre covers a large area of subjects: politics, religion, social issues, philosophy, and the uncharted realms of the psychological. He is most famous for the novels ‘Crime and Punishment’, ‘The Idiot’, and ‘The Brothers Karamazov’. James Joyce described Dostoevsky as the creator of ‘modern prose’ and his literary legacy is influential to this day as Dostoevsky’s work has been adapted for many movies including ‘The Double’ starring Jesse Eisenberg.

Book Description
As the second book in the CHAIN OF WITNESSES series opens, Anseo and Eveline Tescher's grandson, James, has just turned 13. His father, Henry, is trying to counsel him about some important decisions he needs to make. Choices made by James' family will land them in jail as heretics and lead to serious consequences for everyone. Will the outcome of all these choices help him move his life in the right direction? Join the Tescher family and many other historical figures. You will experience their heartache, humanly insurmountable obstacles, and surprising events along this incredible journey of faith. One of the historical characters that we will meet is the Little Greek engineer, Sorbolo who suggested a feat of war second only to Hannibal's elephants crossing the Alps. Two other historical persons of interest are the opposing generals Sforza and Piccinino, who were both involved in an incident that was stranger than fiction. We cannot omit the historical hero of faith, the Lollard Peter English, the 'Braveheart' of Bohemia. We hope you will enjoy meeting Sir George as much as we did. He will draw out a wide range of emotions. This knight was an unplanned character that won our hearts and wrote himself into our story. In this link of the CHAIN OF WITNESSES, The Old Heretic and His Wife have made every effort to give the reader a greater sense of appreciation for the sacrifices made to keep the gospel alive. It may also provide a glimpse into our own future as the end time draws closer. If you happen to read THE INQUISITOR first, it will not diminish your enjoyment of THE OVERCOMERS, if you read it later. Be looking for book three, THE GREEK PRINTING PRESS coming soon.
