He is considered one of the greatest novelists in any language in
all of human history, but Leo Tolstoy was also an influential
social reformer and peace advocate. Subtitled "Christianity Not as
a Mystical Teaching but as a New Concept of Life," this powerful
exploration of the preachings of Jesus from a pacifistic
perspective. First published in 1893, it introduced such important
20th-century figures as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King to
the concept of nonviolent resistance. This edition is vital reading
for anyone wishing to understand the history of protest around the
world or gain a deeper appreciation of pacifistic Christianity.
