My church reading group is currently on the Brothers Karamazov. While I'm still uncertain exactly where my group is taking me on this journey, I recall studying the book decades ago in undergrad, and the themes of belief in God and Doubt, and gaining self-knowledge through suffering.
I think we are focusing on the conflict between nilhism and belief ... which is not what I recall being the subject of undergrad studies. However, as to your original poll, one theme is that without God giving people free will, there would not be evil.
