The four Gospels that begin the Bible's New Testament tell the life
of Jesus. But each Gospel relates a slightly different version of
events. Some stories appear only in one Gospel, while certain other
stories are different in each. What Leo Tolstoy sought to do in
"The Gospel In Brief" was to apply his tremendous skills as a
writer to tell the life of Jesus in one seamless narrative, thus
integrating the four Gospels. The result is a work that reads like
a novel, complete with twelve chapters. The project was very
important to Tolstoy. With "The Gospel In Brief", he sought to
democratize access to the Gospel, making the life of Jesus
accessible to everyone. (He particularly had in mind the Russian
peasantry.) Tolstoy based his translation on his study of the
original Greek versions of the Bible. Unfortunately the Russian
Orthodox Church viewed the book as sacrilegious. How dare he
re-write the sacred texts? The Church worked to suppress "The
Gospel In Brief", and in 1901, it permanently excommunicated
Tolstoy, Russia's greatest novelist.
