Second Tolstoy

Leo Tolstoy's unique interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount emphasizes radical obedience to Jesus's teachings, yet his religious and philosophical insights remain largely overlooked. In Second Tolstoy: The Sermon on the Mount as Theo-tactics, Steve Hickey offers a sympathetic exploration of Tolstoy's views, arguing for their relevance and practicality. By proposing a new vocabulary for Tolstoyan Christianity, Hickey aims to foster greater appreciation and understanding of Tolstoy's contributions to political and social expressions of faith.
