"Dostoyevsky was a God-possessed man if ever there was one, as is clear in everything he wrote and in every character he created. All his life he was questing for God, and found Him only at the end of his days after passing through what he called 'the hell-fire of doubt." Freedom to choose between Good and Evil he saw as the very essence of earthly existence. 'Accept suffering and be redeemed by it.' This was Dostoyevsky's message to a world hurrying frenziedly in the opposite direction; seeking to abolish suffering and find happiness." (From the Foreword by Malcolm Muggerridge)
