  This essay explores, starting from the Legend of the Grand Inquisitor and through the political-theological contribution of Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin, the relation between nomos, redemption and evil. The aim of this essay is to clarify the metaphysical –or the nihilistic– connection between nomos and redemption through the biblical and political meaning of evil. For Dostoevsky’s Inquisitor the juridical action in the world influences the Kingdom –fulfills it or leads to it–starting from the privileged nexus which the law holds with the theme of evil.
