Christ's Christianity is a book written by the renowned Russian author Leo Tolstoy. In this book, Tolstoy presents his interpretation of Christianity and the teachings of Jesus Christ. He argues that the true essence of Christianity is not found in the dogmas and rituals of organized religion, but rather in the individual's personal relationship with God and their commitment to living a life of love, compassion, and service to others.Tolstoy examines the teachings of Jesus in detail, emphasizing the importance of non-violence, forgiveness, and the rejection of material possessions. He also critiques the institutionalized church and its hierarchy, arguing that it has lost touch with the core principles of Christianity and has become corrupted by power and wealth.Throughout the book, Tolstoy draws on his own personal experiences and struggles with faith, as well as his extensive knowledge of the Bible and Christian history. He presents his ideas in a clear and accessible manner, making this book a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Christianity and its relevance in today's world.Overall, Christ's Christianity is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that challenges readers to reconsider their beliefs and values, and to strive for a more authentic and meaningful relationship with God.1885. Translated from the Russian. Tolstoy is considered one of the greatest of all novelists. His collected works number 90 and critics regard War and Peace and Anna Karenina as his two masterpieces. Following the publication of Anna Karenina Tolstoy's life had undergone a complete change. He entirely devoted himself to Christ's teaching. He studied it searchingly and indefatigably, the literary result being four works, which are contained in this volume including: An account of that development of his life and thoughts which ended in the conviction that the truth of life is contained in the teaching of Christ; An investigation into the interpretation of this teaching according to the Orthodox Greek Church and according to the Church in general; An independent study of the Gospel, and a summary of the author's way of understanding it; and An exposition of the true meaning of Christ's message, the reasons of its distortion, and what will be the results of its real promulgation.
