Driving Home the Faith 2024.02.12

How do holy figures in classic literature address the nihilism, sensualism, and spiritual winter of the modern world? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft concludes his conversation with Dr. Jason Baxter—Director of the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College—to explore the core theological themes of his new Word on Fire book, Dostoevsky’s Icon: The Spiritual World of The Brothers Karamazov. Dr. Baxter breaks down the philosophical tension between the Karamazov brothers and highlights Father Zosima's mandate to Alyosha: to leave the monastery and enter the messy secular world. He examines the pivotal turning point of the novel—the death of Father Zosima, Alyosha's trial of faith, and his unexpected spiritual encounter with Grushenka—showing how Dostoevsky illustrates the recognition of divine beauty and iconic dignity within modern souls.
