OverviewBanned in Russia Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God Is Within You was deemed a threat to church and state. The culmination of a lifetime's thought it espouses a commitment to Jesus's message of turning the other cheek. In a bold and original manner Tolstoy shows his readers clearly why they must reject violence of any sorteven that sanctioned by the state or the churchand urges them to look within themselves to find the answers to questions of morality.In 1894 one of the first English translations of this book found its way into the hands of a young Gandhi. Inspired by its message of nonresistance to evil the Mahatma declared it a source of independent thinking profound morality and truthfulness. Much of this work's emotional and moral appeal lies in its emphasis on fair treatment of the poor and working class. Its view of Christianity not as a mystic religion but as a workable philosophy originating from the words of a remarkable teacher extends its appeal to secular and religious readers alike Full Product DetailsAuthor: Count Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy, 1828-1910, GraPublisher: Insight Publica Imprint: Insight Publica Dimensions: Width: 14.00cm , Height: 2.00cm , Length: 21.60cm Weight: 0.417kg ISBN: 9789391343729ISBN 10: 9391343724 Pages: 360 Publication Date: 01 September 2021 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Available To Order We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
