The Kingdom of God Is Within You: Or, Christianity Not as a Mystical Doctrine, but as a New Life-Conception (Classic Reprint)

This book asserts that modern Christianity, as it is practiced, is predominantly a pagan religion, as evidenced by the un-Christian behavior of European society and the prevalence of conscription or mandatory military service. Through the words of religious leaders throughout history, the author explores the belief that Christianity is not only a form of worship or a doctrine of salvation but, above all, a new and distinct moral concept that completely alters the fabric of human society. Should war, violence, and conscription be considered Christian practices? The author contends these practices are a betrayal of Christ's teachings, and those who genuinely embrace Christianity must refuse to participate in them.
