Not really. There's just a quick reference about "Back in his time of the 19th century". It's easily overlooked. Especially if you haven't got a clue about who or what Tolstoy was.

Re: Worshipping and loving Christ

just a thought: if you want to know about Jesus, who he is and what he has done, read the relevant epistles in the bible.

Don't read modern books ABOUT Jesus until you understand the former.

Why should an atheist have to remind you of this?
