The Christian Teaching (1898) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165094769)

The Christian Teaching is a book written by the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy in 1898. The book is a collection of Tolstoy's essays and lectures on Christianity and its teachings. In this work, Tolstoy explores the fundamental principles of Christianity, including the importance of love, forgiveness, and nonviolence. He argues that these principles are often overlooked by the institutionalized church, which instead focuses on rituals and dogma. Tolstoy also critiques the role of the state in religion, arguing that true Christianity cannot be enforced through laws or institutions. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility and the need for personal transformation. Throughout the book, Tolstoy draws on examples from the Bible and the lives of saints and other religious figures to illustrate his points. The Christian Teaching is a thought-provoking and challenging work that offers a unique perspective on Christianity and its relevance to modern life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
