Tolstoy critiques Herron's book, "The Christian State." He agrees with Herron's view of Christianity as a "politic and economic doctrine." He was especially struck by Herron's "denunciation of the American people for not having fulfilled its vocations." He disagrees with Herron's handling of Church and State, accusing the author of "pouring old wine into new bottles."
