Soedinenie, perevod i issledovanie chetyrekh Evangeliĭ

By Лев Толстой

Book Description

In this profound spiritual work, Leo Tolstoy undertakes an ambitious project of weaving together the four biblical Gospels into a unified narrative that prioritizes Jesus' essential teachings over theological doctrine. Drawing from his careful examination of original Greek biblical texts, Tolstoy creates a distinctive interpretation that reflects his own deeply held religious convictions.

Rather than addressing traditional theological debates about Jesus' divine nature or historical miracles, Tolstoy deliberately shifts focus toward what he considers the core spiritual message. He strips away what he perceives as institutional religious additions, concentrating instead on the direct words and moral guidance attributed to Jesus. This approach emerges from Tolstoy's stated intention to address "the problem of life" through spiritual understanding rather than academic analysis.

The resulting work presents a vision of individual spiritual development within an often chaotic and seemingly indifferent world. Tolstoy's interpretation emphasizes personal spiritual condition and inner transformation, moving beyond ceremonial practices and rigid dogma toward a more immediate, practical spirituality.

Written with the same compelling directness that characterizes Tolstoy's literary masterpieces, this spiritual exploration maintains remarkable relevance for contemporary readers. The work demonstrates how ancient wisdom can speak directly to modern seekers, offering guidance for those questioning traditional religious frameworks while searching for authentic spiritual meaning. Tolstoy's synthesis invites readers to encounter familiar teachings through fresh perspective and personal reflection.
