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.
