This book is just so intense. You can hardly believe your eyes that the churches in rural Russia were in such bad shape.
The author then goes on to tell why this is so.
I felt that this book helped me to see more clearly how important the Optina monastery was and what Christianity meant to Dostoevsky.

Dostoevsky and ChristianityChristianity is associated with the image of original sin, that man is sinful, and with praying to God to be saved from original sin.
However, author Yasuyuki Takahashi states that this is not a traditional Christian idea, but an idea that was added later under Western ideas, and that the idea of the Roman Catholic Church is a unique product of Europe.
This work is especially recommended if you want to read "The Brothers Karamazov" in depth. It will give you a great clue as to where Dostoevsky saw human salvation.

I was very surprised when I read this book. I had unconsciously thought of Roman Catholicism and Protestantism when I thought of Christianity, but this book made me realize that the Russian Orthodox Church has a very different teaching and culture from them.
What is the Russian Orthodox Church anyway?
What makes them different from Catholics and Protestants?
They are described in detail in this book.
A considerable amount of space is also devoted to Dostoevsky.
