The Kingdom of God Is Within You

Tolstoy's magnum opus The Kingdom of God is the result of his thirty years of Christian pondering and study and was cited by Mahatma Gandhi as one of his major influences. He opposes the modernisation of the church and builds the foundation for a new social structure based on a literal reading of the Bible. Readers are reminded of Jesus Christ's teachings to turn the other cheek and to choose a nonviolent course of action in the face of threats or violence. A key text for Christianity.
