It influenced readers drawn to personal religious sincerity rather than institutional dogma and impacted thinkers interested in moral philosophy.
Tolstoy's editorial choices emphasize practical ethical precepts over metaphysical claims, making the text a distinctive interpretation of Christian teachings.
The work contributed to Tolstoy's legacy as a moral and religious critic.
