AUTHOR

Tolstoy, Leo, Tolstoy, Leo, Newborn, Sasha

SUMMARY

Leo Tolstoy retranslated the synoptic gospels as a narrative story, cutting out repetitions & dubious editorial additions, such as the genealogies, miracles & resurrection. Tolstoy retranslated the gospel narratives, peeling away layers of interpretation & religious partisanship to find the core of truth in the life of Jesus, a man. He had been repelled by the hypocrisy & dogma of every church. In Tolstoy's translation, Jesus distills his thought into five commandments -- the most difficult of which is Resist Not Evil. This idea sparked Gandhi & Martin Luther King. The Czar banned The Little Gospel in Russia & Tolstoy was excommunicated. This text is a radical new translation, the first since Khrushchev's Thaw revealed texts unavailable before.Tolstoy, Leo is the author of 'Little Gospel' with ISBN 9780942208023 and ISBN 0942208021.
