From a Lutheran perspective, I would say Tolstoy is a powerful preacher of the Law (God's demands upon us), but that he didn't understand the Gospel (what God does for us, in love). He reminds me a little of George MacDonald, who is good at stirring the conscience but tends to be confused about, e.g. the Atonement -- but he is far more sound than Tolstoy in this novel.<br /><br />Dale NelsonWurmbrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345523517796356674noreply@blogger.com
