"The Kingdom of God is Within You; What is Art?" by Leo Tolstoy is a thought-provoking exploration of Christian principles and the essence of art, penned in the late 1800s. Tolstoy argues that genuine Christianity champions love and non-violence, disagreeing with common religious views and hitting on art's role in society. He dives into his mission of understanding true Christianity, noting the importance of not fighting back against evil, and disagrees with the Church's practices that clash with Christ's lessons. Tolstoy believes art should uplift morals and connect people, versus just being pretty or a product to sell. The book's start is reflective, setting the stage for conversations about humanity, strong moral values, and how art can bring us together.
