The Kingdom of God is Within You

Meer over het boek

Tolstoy's transformative journey from a successful novelist to a spiritual seeker led him to a radical reinterpretation of Christianity, emphasizing a literal understanding of Christ's teachings, particularly non-violence and forgiveness. He critiques the Orthodox Church and secular authorities, branding them hypocritical for straying from true Christian values. His work, banned in Czarist Russia, has profoundly influenced figures like Martin Luther King and Gandhi, advocating for moral non-violent resistance. This thought-provoking text challenges readers to reflect on their beliefs, regardless of faith.
