As a writer and prophet Dostoevsky was no academic theologian, yet
his writings are deeply theological: his life, beliefs, even his
epilepsy, all had a role in generating histheology and eschatology.
Dostoevsky's novels are riven with paradoxes, are deeply
dialectical, and represent a criticism of religion, offered in the
service of the gospel. In this task he presented a profound
understanding and portrait of humanity. Dostoevsky's novels chart
the movement of the human into death: either the movement through
paradox and Christlikeness into Christ's cross (a soteriology often
characterized by the apophatic negation and self-denial; what we
may term 'the Mark of Abel') leading to salvation and resurrection;
or, conversely, the movement of those who refuse Christ's
invitation to be redeemed, and continue to fall into a self-willed
death and a selfgenerated hell ('the Mark of Cain'). This
eschatology becomes a theological axiom which he unceasingly warned
people of in his mature works. Startlingly original, stripped of
all religious pretence, Dostoevsky as a prophet forewarned of the
politicized humanistic delusions of the twentieth century: a
prophet crying out through the wilderness.
