What I Believe

Leo Tolstoy

What I Believe is a philosophical essay by Leo Tolstoy, written in 1884, where he articulates his understanding of Christianity and the essence of faith. Tolstoy reflects on his spiritual journey, emphasizing a personal revelation that clarified the true meaning of Christian doctrine, rather than relying on traditional theological interpretations. This work is notable for its candid exploration of faith and morality, marking a significant moment in Tolstoy's life as he distanced himself from institutional religion in favor of a more personal spirituality.
