My Confession: My Religion: The Gospel in Brief is a profound collection of philosophical and spiritual writings that document Leo Tolstoy's mid-life transformation from a celebrated novelist to a radical religious thinker. This volume captures the author's intense internal struggle to find meaning in a world he felt was devoid of spiritual purpose. In My Confession, Tolstoy recounts his descent into a deep existential crisis and his subsequent journey through various disciplines of knowledge to find a reason for living, eventually discovering a path in the faith of the common people.
The collection continues with My Religion, where Tolstoy provides a rigorous examination of his theological beliefs, focusing on the ethical teachings of Jesus and the principle of non-resistance to evil. Finally, The Gospel in Brief offers a harmonious synthesis of the four gospels, distilled into a single narrative that emphasizes the moral and practical essence of Christ's message over supernatural elements. These works represent a significant departure from Tolstoy's fictional masterpieces, revealing a man grappling with the fundamental questions of human existence, faith, and the true nature of the divine. This collection remains a cornerstone of religious and philosophical literature, offering timeless insights into the human search for truth.
