In this revolutionary work, he argues that Christ's teachings have been fundamentally misunderstood by the Church and twisted by the state to justify war, oppression, and coercion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the Sermon on the Mount, particularly the commandment to \"resist not evil,\" Tolstoy builds a powerful case for Christian anarchism and absolute nonviolence. He exposes the hypocrisy of a civilization that calls itself Christian while waging wars, maintaining armies, and enforcing its will through violence. The true Kingdom of God, Tolstoy insists, lies not in external institutions but within the human heart-and it demands a complete transformation of how we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with the moral urgency and piercing intellect that defined Tolstoy's later years, this book inspired Gandhi's philosophy of nonviolent resistance and influenced generations of peace activists and social reformers. Challenging, uncompromising, and deeply humane, The Kingdom of God Is within You remains one of the most important-and controversial-works of Christian thought ever written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA book that changed history by daring to take the teachings of Christ literally.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1434105946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781434105943\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Waking Lion Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 436\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.89d","brand":"WR Book House","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623528673535,"sku":"9781434105943","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-kingdom-of-god-is-9781434105943","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
