A Comprehensive Summary and Analysis of The Kingdom of God is Within You” Christianity Not as a Mystic Religion But as a New Theory of Life
“The Kingdom of God Is Within You” Christianity Not as a Mystic Religion But as a New Theory of Life by Leo Tolstoy, translated by Constance Garnett, is a powerful and thought-provoking work of Christian anarchism. Originally written in Russian in 1893, the book critiques the alliance between the Church and the state, arguing that this alliance has corrupted the true meaning of Christianity. Tolstoy contends that true Christianity is incompatible with any form of violence, including war, capital punishment, and even the coercive power of the government. He calls for a return to the original teachings of Christ, which he believes are based on love, non-resistance to evil, and the rejection of all forms of worldly authority.

This volume in the Contemporary Anarchist Studies series focuses on anti-statist critiques in ancient and modern China and demonstrates that China does not have an unchallenged authoritarian political culture. Treating anarchism as a critique of centralized state power, the work first examines radical Daoist thought from the 4th century BCE to the 9th century CE and compares Daoist philosophers and poets to Western anarchist and utopian thinkers. This is followed by a survey of anarchist themes in dissident thought in the People's Republic of China from 1949 to the present. A concluding chapter discusses how Daoist anarchism can be applied to any anarchist-inspired radical critique today. This work not only challenges the usual ideas of the scope and nature of dissent in China, it also provides a unique comparison of ancient Chinese Daoist anarchism to Western anarchist. Featuring previously untranslated texts, such as the 9th century Buddhist anarchist tract, the Wunengzi, and essays from the PRC press, it will be an essential resource to anyone studying anarchism, Chinese political thought, political dissent, and political history.
