The Grand Inquisitor by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
"The Grand Inquisitor" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky is a story within a story contained in his 1880 novel "The Brothers Karamazov". In this philosophical tale, Christ returns to Earth during the Spanish Inquisition and is arrested. The Grand Inquisitor confronts Him, arguing that the Church has improved upon Christ's work by rejecting human freedom in favor of bread, miracles, and earthly authority. Christ remains silent throughout, responding only with a mysterious kiss. (This
