The Kingdom of God is Within You (Paperback)

from wishanem

Tolstoy has some ideas which still stand more than a century later. Other ideas, not so much. For instance, he claims that honor will always require that men duel to the death, and only an increase in the practice of Christian morality will solve the problem.

from johnkuypers

Thought provoking and radical. A man far ahead of his time as this was written in 1890's. He saw the truth of Jesus message and found war incompatible. Apparently, this book inspired Mahatma Gandhi.

There may be plenty to follow and emulate in Leo Tolstoy's religion conversions and admiration for Quakers, yet is impossible to believe that he would not protect people from attacks by other humans.

a great book that made me think about my life a great deal. However his conclusions regarding Christian morality changing the hearts of violent men, especially those who engage in religious violence such as in the Middle East seems highly naive
