Ep 305: Dostoyevsky, Guardian Angels, Onions, and the Wedding Feast at Cana
Rafe discusses two entries from the book "The Gospel In Dostoyevsky", a collection of entries from Dostoyevsky's works that touch on gospel themes. The two entries were both from The Brothers Karamazov, a Russian classic. One story retells a Russian folk story of an evil woman whose only good deed in life was once giving an onion to a beggar. The other story tells of Alyosha's dreaming vision of the Wedding Feast at Cana; in the vision he sees his recently-departed mentor at the feast who tells him that heaven is indeed a feast that constantly grows as Christ is constantly calling in more and more celebrants, sometimes even those who have only given a beggar an onion. These two stories (and many others) reveal the rich gospel underpinnings of many of Dostoyevsky's great works. #bufnagle #dostoyevsky #brotherskaramazov #onion #fokltale #beggar #heavenandhell #weddingfeastatcana #christ #waterandwine #miracles #visionsofheaven #cometothefeast ***** As always, you can reach the Buf at bufnagle@bufnagle.com ***** As you know, this is an independent podcast so your hosts also carry all the expenses of running this podcast.
