While Christian Commonwealth only lasted until 1900, its combination of religious communitarianism and socialist ideology proved attractive to many. It was a place where women enjoyed a sort of political equality and where its school--open to all white students of Muscogee County--emphasized a critique of private property. Kallman explains how particular brand of Tolstoyan anarchism inspired by the Russian novelist's philosophical treatise \u003ci\u003eThe Kingdom of God is Within You\u003c\/i\u003e (1894) and Christ's Sermon on the Mount took root in west-central Georgia and attracted attention from famous onlookers--Leo Tolstoy and Jane Addams included. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Kallman's capable hands, what appears to be merely a blip barely worth mentioning for historians of Georgia and the larger United States, instead emerges as a story that has much to teach us about Gilded Age American and provides necessary context for the surging interest in America's socialist past.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Theodore Kallman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820358673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820358673\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Theodore Kallman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43944219508991,"sku":"9780820358673","price":30.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d3850034-d4cb-4f1a-97ee-9fb73a26122d.jpg?v=1681502452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kingdom-of-god-is-at-theodore-kallman-9780820358673","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
