 The Kingdom of God Is Within You by Leo Tolstoy
"The Kingdom Of God Is Within You" is one of the most provocative anti-establishment and anti-authoritarian pieces of literature ever written. In the context of a sincere and scathing account of what is living and dead in modern Christianity, Tolstoy presents a view of history and society that overcomes widely recognised theoretical contradictions implicit in his monumental early novel, "War and Peace". At the focal point of "The Kingdom Of God Is Within You" is the doctrine of radical non-violence that Tolstoy understands Jesus to have articulated in the Sermon on the Mount's injunction against responding to evil with evil. Though the treatise was banned upon completion in 1893, this quickly translated and widely disseminated work was destined to become the most powerful and influential of his major late period writings.
