Description
A concise introduction to the thought and vision of Eberhard Arnold, the founder of the Bruderhof community.
Eberhard Arnold was one of the most remarkable Christian figures of the twentieth century. In the years after World War I he abandoned his career ambitions to live by the radical teachings of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. With his family and a small circle of friends he founded the Bruderhof, an international pacifist community rooted in the Anabaptist tradition, which soon brought him into conflict with the Nazi state.
Whether you’ve never read Eberhard Arnold before, or have already been profoundly affected by one of his books, this introductory selection from many of his important works will give insight into of his thought on a wide range of topics, including justice, peacemaking, work, economic sharing, communal living, human nature, family, the Holy Spirit, the Bible, and the church. A biographical introduction by his grandson Johann Christoph Arnold puts the selections in context.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
“Arnold's writings has all the simple, luminous, direct vision into things that I have come to associate with his name. It has the authentic ring of a truly evangelical Christianity and moves me deeply. It stirs to repentance and renewal. I am deeply grateful for it.” —Thomas Merton
“Arnold's life is a testimony that in community the Spirit, which can be found in all traditions, can reveal to us the real causes of social injustice.” —Thich Nhat Hanh
“The witness of Eberhard Arnold is a much needed corrective to an American church that has lost the vital, biblical connection between belief and obedience.” —Jim Wallis
“Key selections from a prophetic voice – the contemporary church needs to wrestle with Eberhard Arnold.” —Ronald J. Sider
