The work explores the concept of non-resistance to evil and critiques institutional Christianity, arguing that true Christian teaching emphasizes love and peace rather than violence and coercion. Tolstoy articulates his belief that the essence of Christianity is fundamentally incompatible with the use of force, which has been historically misinterpreted by both the Church and society. The opening of the text sets the groundwork for this exploration, recounting the author's previous work “What I Believe” and its controversial reception, particularly its suppression in Russia. Tolstoy presents evidence from various historical and contemporary sources—including letters from Quakers and American abolitionists—to support his thesis on non-resistance. He highlights the testimonies of individuals who lived in adherence to this principle and critiques the systemic failures of religious and political institutions that wield power at odds with the teachings of Jesus. This entrance into the subject suggests an ongoing struggle between the true tenets of Christianity and the societal norms that govern human behavior, indicating that the work will deepen the discourse on morality, authority, and spiritual integrity.
