I deeply admire all of Tolstoy's writings, so when I found out that Gandhi named this book as his biggest influence, I felt forced to read it as well. Even though a good part of it seems a little hard to read, not applying anymore to our modern world, it is still a surprisingly revolutionary and refreshing interpretation of Christianity. I wasn't expecting anything like this, Tolstoy combines an ardent defense of the Christian principles, specially the non-resistance principle, with a ferocious criticism of all Churches, and he does so in a remarkably coherent and convincing way. I find that anyone interested in religion and morality would profit immensely from reading this. I certainly did.
