The Kingdom of God Is Within You

Christianity Not as a Mystic Religion but as a New Theory of Life
Book • 2024
In this book, Tolstoy interprets Jesus' teachings, particularly the Sermon on the Mount, to argue for a radical transformation of society based on Christian principles.

He critiques the existing social and institutional structures, advocating for nonviolent resistance and a personal, inward spiritual transformation.

The book had a significant impact on contemporary thinkers, including Mahatma Gandhi, and continues to influence pacifist and nonviolent movements.
