Much of Dostoevskian prose asks us whether we can imagine a communal language and feeling even if we 're incapable of realising it, to grab this realization, you require boundless amounts of faith and fiction in equal measures, creating a 'perfect ' humanity system, call it a 'pious utopia ' derived from having a 'pure mind and spirit ' - albeit, humanity is fundamentally flawed, a collaboration of good and evil. In this book: Dostoevsky: Language, Faith and Fiction, Rowan Williams invites readers to embrace Dostoevskian extremes of …show more content…
Small offerings of learning that Dostoevsky took holy communion in 1848 - 49 prior to reading the new testament Natalya Fonvizina gifted him while he was in a prison camp, doesn 't remotely define a man or belief-system, furthermore, most of his known works are written post 1854, as a faithless 'agnostic atheist.

I 've pontificated over Williams 's book: Dostoevsky: Language, Faith and Fiction, longer than it deserved - because unlike the author, Rowan Williams who categorically states his Dostoevskian wisdom is limited; yet, still writes the book, I 'll go further, and say that I compute fully with Fyodor Dostoevsky 's novel analogies, essays, and notes. In comparison, Williams claims he is altogether complex and I claim he actually simplifies language, faith and fiction to the point of a singular core - call it: 'oneness.
