Publisher's Synopsis
Cited by Mahatma Gandhi as one of the most important influences in his life, Tolstoy's magnum opus The Kingdom of God... is a culmination of his thirty years of Christian thinking and reflection. He challenges the modernization of the church and lays the groundwork for a new organization of society based on a literal interpretation of Christianity. Readers are reminded of the messages of Jesus Christ to "turn the other cheek" and to take the path of nonresistance when confronted by threats or violence. A landmark book for Christianity.
