About this audiobook
A revolutionary non-fiction work that challenges traditional religious institutions and advocates for a literal interpretation of the teachings of Jesus regarding non-resistance. Tolstoy presents a compelling argument for personal conscience over state authority, urging readers to find divine truth within their own hearts. This radical call for peace and spiritual autonomy remains a cornerstone of pacifist thought and social reform.
