Life Beyond Brooding: Dostoyevsky and the Deceptive Brain | John Ortberg

About this sermon

Join us as John Ortberg discusses one of his favorite books, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. One of the supreme masterpieces of world literature, Crime and Punishment catapulted Dostoyevsky to the forefront of Russian writers and into the ranks of the world's greatest novelists. Drawing upon experiences from his own prison days, the author recounts in feverish, compelling tones the story of Raskolnikov, an impoverished student tormented by his own nihilism, and the struggle between good and evil. In the series, Passage to Wisdom, John continues to share his thoughts from books that have been deeply influential in his life. Key verses: ➡️ 'For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.' - Romans 1:21 (https://my.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.1.21) ➡️ 'You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.' - Romans 2:1 (https://my.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.2.1) ➡️ 'Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.' - Romans 12:2 (https://my.bible.com/bible/111/ROM.12.2) Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel BecomeNew.Me and say hello 👋 in the comments.
