The Kingdom of God is within you: Unabridged Edition

by Leo Tolstoy

Overview

The Kingdom of God Is Within You is a philosophical treatise, first published in Germany after being banned in Russia. It is the culmination of thirty years of Tolstoy's thinking, and lays out a new organization for society based on an interpretation of Christianity focusing on universal love. The author ponders about the principle of nonviolent resistance when confronted by violence, as taught by Jesus Christ. When Christ says to turn the other cheek, Tolstoy asserts that Christ means to abolish violence, even the defensive kind, and to give up revenge.
