The book explores two main themes: the profound implications of Christian teachings on non-resistance to evil and a critical analysis of the nature and purpose of art. Tolstoy emphasizes that true Christianity is about embodying love and non-violence, challenging prevailing interpretations of Christ’s teachings, while also contesting the commodification of art in society. At the start of the work, Tolstoy outlines his journey of rediscovering the essence of Christianity, focusing on the commandment of non-resistance to evil. He critiques the discrepancy between the Church's doctrines and Christ's teachings, asserting that society's reliance on violence contradicts the core of Christianity. Additionally, he introduces his arguments regarding art, suggesting that art must serve moral and societal purposes rather than mere aesthetic enjoyment. The opening portion sets an introspective tone, providing a foundation for the deeper discussions that follow about humanitarianism, moral integrity, and the role of art in fostering human connection.
