Published in 1884, ‘The kingdom of God is within you’ is perhaps Tolstoy’s most significant work of non-fiction. Due to the Russian censors, it was first published in Germany, but its dominant idea of non-violence echoed across the international stage throughout the 20th century. Banned in Russia, Tolstoy’s The Kingdom of God Is Within You was deemed a threat to church and state. The culmination of a lifetime’s thought, it espouses a commitment to Jesus’s message of turning the other cheek. So, the simplest way to understand the Kingdom of God is the realm where Jesus Christ reigns as King and God’s authority is supreme. This Kingdom exists here and now (in part) in the lives and hearts of the redeemed, as well as in perfection and fullness in the future.
