Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr, along with many others, have referred to the influence that this work, written by Leo Tolstoy, has had on their psyche, and subsequent permanent change in their state of mind.

The audiobook received mixed reactions from listeners. Some appreciated the intellectual challenge and narration, while others found the content misleading or overly complex. Opinions varied widely regarding the alignment of the material with personal beliefs. The narration was generally considered acceptable, though minor flaws were noted. Overall, the listening experience was highly subjective.

Leo Tolstoy is is brilliant thinker. I can't say that I agree with everything he said. I think that some of his commentary is conditioned by his time and place. Nevertheless, he has something to challenge anyone. I think this book may be especially beneficial for Christians to read, though I don't think I would recommend it for someone going through a crisis of faith. It might add too many new questions if one is already struggling. On the other hand, I might just be the answer to the very thing they are struggling with. Michael Scott is clear and consistent as ever.

Fallacy

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2025

It was okay, didn't really go into much depth about the kingdom of heaven being in you and the actual gnostic gospels that relates to this, just mostly spoke about what others have labeled as heresy so the title is pretty misleading, it was OK to listen to but I was a bit disappointed. Maybe it should be titled "The People's Heresy or Who decided on what's Heresy" etc. The voice over narrator was decent but had a bit of a lisp at times but I'd listen to his voice again in a different book probably.

Too lofty for simple fishermen who raised the dead, set the captives free, and heald the sick.
