| Summary | "The Kingdom of God is Within You" by Count Lev N. Tolstoy is a philosophical work written in the late 19th century. The book explores the themes of Christianity, non-resistance to evil, and moral teachings from a perspective that critiques established religious institutions and societal norms. With a focus on genuine Christian teachings as opposed to ecclesiastical dogma, Tolstoy's work advocates for a life led by love, forgiveness, and compassion as the true representation of Christ's message. At the start of this volume, Tolstoy reflects on his previous work, where he expressed his beliefs about Christianity and its divergence from ecclesiastical interpretations. He describes his journey of discovery regarding the commandment of non-resistance to evil and the responses he received from various Christian sects, particularly the Quakers and notable figures like William Lloyd Garrison. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the consequences of adhering to Christ’s teachings in a world often characterized by violence and conflict, emphasizing the historical attempts to understand and live according to this profound moral imperative.
