The Kingdom of God Is Within You

Leo Tolstoy's The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894) is the result of his reflections on his Christian beliefs. The work addresses Tolstoy's separation of Orthodox Russian Christianity from the true message of Christ in the Gospels, which he regards as is a complete code of life for believers. His political philosophy of non-violence and his hatred for compulsory military service introduced in Russia are the main practical concerns of the book.
