This work presents a thoughtful critique of established religion, particularly orthodox Christianity, while advocating for a practical application of Christ's teachings, especially the principle of non-resistance to evil by force. Tolstoy argues for a deeper understanding of Christianity as a radical and transformative way of life rather than a mere set of beliefs or rituals, suggesting that true Christian living leads to inner peace and the establishment of a just society. The opening of the book sets the stage for Tolstoy's examination of the doctrine of non-resistance to evil, emphasizing its significance throughout the history of Christianity. He references previous writings and discussions surrounding the concept, including letters from Quakers and the views of other historical figures who also championed non-resistance. Tolstoy notes societal reluctance to accept these ideas and identifies a general spiritual misunderstanding regarding the authentic teachings of Christ, indicating a continuous struggle to reconcile the call to non-violence with human institutions built on force and authority. Through this introduction, he aims to lay a foundation for a nuanced discussion of ethics, morality, and the essence of Christianity in the modern world. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
