El Reino de Dios Está en Vosotros es un ensayo escrito por Tolstoi en 1893. El título deriva de las palabras de Cristo en el Sermón de la Montaña. Tolstoi lo utiliza para exponer su idea del cristianismo como filosofía de vida; de relación personal y directa con Cristo; el rechazo a la violencia como método para el orden artificial; y para denunciar a las instituciones que promueven el status quo y la diferencia entre los hombres.

Along the way, Leon offers up the intriguing and charming tales gathered along his one-of-a-kind journey: riding in trains, buses, big rigs and classic cars; sleeping on streets and couches and firehouses....

The authors reached back into history to understand the reasons and methods brilliant rabbis and Talmudic scholars abandoned the Holy Land, both physically and spiritually, to settle in what came to be known as the lands of the Diaspora. This dramatic exodus was contrary to the biblical injunction that all Jews must live in the land of Israel. The Battle of the Two Talmuds explains in great detail how the Babylonian scholars created their own interpretation of the Torah that grew to take precedence over that of the Jerusalem scholars.

He absorbed the “facts” that white was always right and Black men were seen as threatening or great for comic relief but never worthy of the opening credits. It wasn’t until years later that Joél understood he didn’t have to be defined by these things.
