520 _a"My Religion" by Count Leo Tolstoy is a philosophical treatise written in the late 19th century. The work explores Tolstoy's personal journey towards an understanding of Christianity, emphasizing the fundamental teachings of Jesus, particularly the doctrine of non-resistance to evil. In it, Tolstoy seeks to distill the essence of Jesus' messages, arguing for a life grounded in love, humility, and self-denial, contrasting it against the moral failings he observes in established religious practices. At the start of the book, Tolstoy reflects on his past nihilism and how his newfound faith transformed his understanding of right and wrong. He expresses a deep sense of dissatisfaction with dogmatic interpretations of Christianity as perpetuated by organized religion, feeling they dilute the core tenets of Jesus' teachings. The opening showcases his inner turmoil over the contradictions he perceives within the Church's doctrines, leading him to seek clarity in the Gospels. Through his personal revelations, he articulates a vision of Christianity that is accessible, practical, and fundamentally rooted in the principle of not resisting evil, setting the stage for his broader philosophical exploration throughout the text.
