Heretical Orthodoxy by Pl Kolst
Lev Tolstoi, one of the world's most famous writers, wasalso a religious thinker and influential critic of the Orthodox Church. This book offers a new account of his relationship with the Church, showing how most of his main ideas drew on his Christian heritage a radical reinterpretation of the faith he encountered in his own life.
'Pål Kolstø's absorbing book is something of an event in Tolstoy studiesIt provides an extremely judicious account of Tolstoy's ostensibly unconventional Christianity, its connections to Russian Orthodoxy, and the reasons for Tolstoy's excommunication in 1903. … Balance is perhaps the best term with which to describe Kolstø's book, which through a sober, painstaking research effort liberates Tolstoy from the generalizations that have often been employed to describe his Christianity.' Jeff Love, The Russian Review
