The Gospel in Brief by Leo Tolstoy
Offers an integration of the four biblical Gospels into a single account of the life of Jesus. This title explains that the author's goal is a solution to 'the problem of life', not an answer to theological or historical questions. It focuses on the words and teachings of Jesus, what the author regarded as the Church's distortions.
"Are you acquainted with Tolstoy's The Gospel in Brief? At its time, this book virtually kept me alive.. If you are not acquainted with it, then you cannot imagine what an effect it can have upon a person." Ludwig Wittgenstein, in a letter to Ludwig von Ficker.
