Leo Tolstoy's interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount is explored through a sympathetic lens, highlighting his radical approach to living out Jesus's teachings. Despite being overshadowed by figures like Gandhi, Tolstoy's religious and philosophical insights remain largely unrecognized. Steve Hickey argues for a reevaluation of Tolstoy's contributions, advocating for a new vocabulary to better articulate the political and social dimensions of his Christian thought. This work aims to foster deeper understanding and appreciation of Tolstoy's lived theology.
