      A Year in Reading: Stephen Dodson

      Dec 3, 2018

      I’ve read a lot of Russian literature and a lot about it, several general histories (starting with D.S. Mirsky’s classic) and a bunch of more specialized ones. Frankly, I didn’t think any book could add much to my understanding. But the massive new A

      I enjoyed this, but want to be able to combine the text with the audio and cross reference quotes. It does not work well in this format.
    • 5/5
      Very articulate dismantling of the perspective of people who choose to hang onto Romans 13 to justify government authority or wars and also to remember that you do not find salvation outside, here or there... be the change you to see
    • 5/5
      A masterpiece on 19th century morality, still relevant today. Tolstoy accurately predicted World War 1. He makes accurate criticism of Christianity and society at large. Though I can not agree 100%, and he tends to drag on unnecessarily, I would still recommend this book to anyone interested in history, religion, politics, or philosophy.
    • 3/5
      Way over my head! Hard to follow if you’re not a theologian or philosopher. Multiple narrators added distraction.
    • 5/5
      Great classic. Well read. Well done. Good message. Still relevant today.
