Is freedom too heavy for the human heart—or the only path to peace?
In this episode of the Wolff Peace series, host Avis Kalfsbeek pairs Dostoevsky’s philosophical parable The Grand Inquisitor with the life of Nelson Mandela, whose forgiveness and leadership transformed a nation.
Dostoevsky doubted humanity’s ability to handle freedom. Mandela embodied what it looks like when we rise to the challenge.
