He asks what Jesus teaches and why, in his view, so few Christians follow it. His close reading of the Sermon on the Mount centers on the command not to resist evil—a teaching he says he once dismissed as advice meant only for saints.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom that starting point, Tolstoy gathers five commandments into a demanding vision of ordinary life. He challenges church and state, questions anger, and argues for obedience to reason and love. This is a personal moral argument, not a neutral survey of theology. At stake is his search for a meaning in life that fear of death cannot take away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll discover\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA crisis of faith\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow Tolstoy’s account of the spiritual crisis that sends him back to the Gospels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe challenge of non-resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore why Tolstoy makes one difficult teaching the center of his reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive commands for living\u003c\/strong\u003e – Consider the practical demands he finds in the Sermon, beginning with a rejection of anger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChurch and state questioned\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet his sharp criticism of institutions he sees as opposing the teaching they claim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeaning beyond fear\u003c\/strong\u003e – Examine his belief that reason and love offer a way to face death.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers drawn to hard moral arguments, Tolstoy’s later thought, or the demands of the Sermon on the Mount in ordinary life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and follow Tolstoy into a searching argument about how to live.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534766178652,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/12181_en_ebook-front_c06.jpg?v=1792175192","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/tr\/products\/my-religion","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
