Abstract
This article examines the relationship between God’s providence and man’s freedom in relation to the problem of suffering in the Brothers Karamazov. Ivan condemns the Christian interpretation of suffering as an instrument for the fulfillment of divine providence. He further argues that man can resolve the problem of suffering from its fundamental perspective, while there truly exists the limitation. In contrast, Alyosha, Ivan’s brother, emphasizes the concept of God’s providence based on an unconditional love of Jesus Christ for mankind, who practiced the value of the silence of love by kissing the Grand Inquisitor who had cursed him. And the hope of eschatological salvation in the resurrection of Jesus Christ makes man embrace the suffering that can be overcome through the practice of love. Therefore, the importance of man’s freedom of cooperation for salvation in accordance with the providence of God could be found.
