"The Kingdom of God Is Within You" by graf Leo Tolstoy
"The Kingdom of God Is Within You" by graf Leo Tolstoy is a philosophical treatise first published in 1894. Banned in Russia, this Christian anarchist work presents Tolstoy's radical interpretation of Christianity centered on universal love and absolute nonviolence. Drawing on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and American anarchist thinkers, Tolstoy argues for dismantling all violent institutions, including governments and the state church. The book profoundly influenced Mohandas Gandhi and inspired pacifists
worldwide, becoming a foundational text for nonviolent resistance movements. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
