DESCRIPTION:
Worth reading even if you disagree with his reinterpretations from the orignial Greek Patrick Moore LMT Educator Wow, Tolstoy had a remarkably liberal view of the gospels. I don't agree with all his "interpretations." But he claimed to have retranslated the gospels from the original Greek, and to have summarized the four into one book. While you may hate some of his interpretations, we should all read this book. Why should we read bible interpretations we disagree with? Because this gives us a broader perspective for our own faith. Questioning the wisdom passed down by the line of popes is healthy, and as we ponder we come to conclusions that may be truer to Jesus' intentions than what the Popes and Bishops have decided was be. Needs editing. Songplayerman The editing was not good enough for one to recommend it.
Leo Tolstoy, in his later life, became a deeply religious man, writing a prolific amount on Christian spirituality and religious mysticism. Perhaps no novelist has been better qualified to offer his imaging of the birth, life, and death of Jesus Christ. Through his poetic and moving account of the life of Jesus, we witness the power of Tolstoy's narrative range as well as the spiritual depth of these Biblical Gospels. "The Gospel in Brief" skillfully envisions the Bible as literature, lending his singular gifts as a novelist to perhaps the most important book in all of Western Civilization. This is essential read
