Der unter seinem Unglauben leidende Atheist Iwan erzählt in Dostojewskijs Roman »Die Brüder Karamasow« diese bestürzende Parabel: Christus, der den Menschen die Freiheit bringen wollte, kehrt ins Spanien der Inquisition zurück. – Der Großinquisitor wirft ihm vor, er habe die Menschen überfordert und ihnen nur Unglück gebracht. Die Kirche verheiße dagegen Glückseligkeit – unter Preisgabe der Freiheit. Die verführerische Argumentation des Kardinals, die stumme Antwort Christi, die Entgegnung von Iwans Bruder: all das berührt bis heute Fragen des Glaubens, der Ethik, der Politik. Einer der tiefsten und einflussreichsten Texte der Weltliteratur.
