In this book, Paul Contino offers a theological interpretation of Dostoevsky's novel "The Brothers Karamazov." The author introduces the concept of "incarnational realism" a method used by Dostoevsky to animate and enspirit his heroes - applying the concept especially to Alyosha Karamazov, to the person who, as the novel's hero, makes decisions and accomplishes deeds.
