Leo Tolstoy

In My Religion, Leo Tolstoy strips away church dogma to reveal the radical heart of Jesus’ teachings. After a profound spiritual crisis, the author of War and Peace concludes that "Resist not evil" is a literal mandate for life, not an abstract ideal. This bold work rejects institutional ritual in favor of five practical commandments to end violence, war, and inequality. A foundational text for Christian pacifism, it offers a rational, urgent guide to finding peace through universal love.

About the Author

Leo Tolstoy

Russian novelist and philosopher (1828 to 1910). Lev Nikolayevich Tolstoy was a writer, thinker, and social reformer. He is regarded as one of the greatest novelists in the history of world literature, and his narrative epics remain peaks of human creativity. His literary works explored the human soul amidst the social, political, and spiritual contradictions of 19th-century Russia.
He engaged deeply with themes of faith, justice, and the arduous search for God. His most acclaimed novels include War and Peace (1869), Anna Karenina (1877), and Resurrection (1899). His 1894 philosophical work, The Kingdom of God Is Within You, acted as a profound awakening of conscience and founded the concept of non-violent resistance.
