The Kingdom Of God Is Within You

Christianity Not As A Mystic Religion But As A New Theory Of Life

BY LEO TOLSTOY, TRANSLATED BY CONSTANCE GARNETT, FOREWARD BY MARTIN GREEN

Brief Description:
This book reveals Tolstoy's world outlook after his conversion to Christianity. He argues that the kingdom of God is within reach of all. The core of the book deals with his nonresistance to evil, a principle Tolstoy passionately advocated. Tolstoy was influenced by his correspondence with Quakers. Gandhi was won over by this book. Tolstoy clearly describes the hazards that bullying governments and false beliefs produced. Tolstoy calls on Christians to remember that the only guide for their actions is to be found in the divine principle dwelling within them, which cannot be checked or governed by anyone or anything else.
