The Kingdom of God Is Within You & What Is Art?

Exploring the essence of Christianity, the first treatise emphasizes the significance of Christ's message, "The Kingdom of God is within you." Count Tolstoy argues that external religious practices and superstitions are secondary to the core truths found in Christ's straightforward teachings. He advocates for a deeper understanding of faith that transcends rituals, focusing instead on the moral and spiritual principles that underpin genuine belief. The volume contrasts this religious perspective with another treatise, offering a rich dialogue on faith and spirituality.
