Understanding the Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Leo Tolstoy
During the last 15 or so years of Leo Tolstoy's life, he more concentrated on his interpretation of the Gospels and Jesus' life as applicable to the Russian family, society and state of his era. They would also summarize his ideology from his decades of Bible study. This volume is a compilation of some of his compositions of this era. The first is Exposition of Christ's Teaching for Children, a Sunday School level instruction divided into 52 chapters of Jesus' life and teachings, that Tolstoy compiled for the peasant children of his estate school. Then is his Christian Teaching, aimed primarily for adults. It deals with the sins of the era and creating a better society. Next is the Gospels in Brief, Tolstoy's paraphase of the Gospels in chronological order, and which formed the bases for the children's lessons. The final two are Love One Another and Believe in Yourself, that Tolstoy wrote for the young audience. Daniel H. Shubin has translated much of Tolstoy and other Russian writers into English.

Leo Tolstoy's final significant novel is "Resurrection" (preceded in 1899). His major works are usually regarded as the 3rd of them, following "War as well as Peace" and "ANNA Karenina." The novel examines issues of injustice, morality as well as redemption and mirrors Tolstoy's progressing spiritual and philosophical perspectives towards the end of his life.The plot centers on Prince Dmitri Ivanovaich Nekhlyudov, a nobleman who's seeking retribution for a sin committed many years ago. When Nekhlyudov was younger he had a short affair with'a maid 'named Katerina Maslova but she fell into prostitutery. Nekhlyudov seats a jury and identifies Maslova as the accused in a murder trial years later on. Nekhlyudov is absolutely horrified that he played a role in her calamity and is wrongly convicted. He promises to assist her and search for forgiveness, going on a profound personal transformational journey.The novel deals with significant issues like the problems of the justice system, poverty among the poor and moral responsibility of people to correct wrongs. Tolstoy critiques the social norms and institutions he discovers perpetuate injustice, especially the moral decline of the aristocracies and the harsh realities of the penal / judicial system.The time of great Social and political transformation in Russia had been the setting of "Resurrection," as per Social and historical Context. In the late 19th century witnessed an increase in dissatisfaction with autokratic rule, prompting even more demands for reform. Tolstoy himself grew to be far more critical of the Russian Orthodox Church, and the government, advocating peaceful opposition along with a reversion to the basic teachings of Christ.The novel also mirrors Tolstoy's keen interest in social justice that increased following his religious awakening in the 1870s. He took an active part in helping the very poor and challenged the moral basis of contemporary society, concentrating on law and coercion rather morality and empathy.
