Details: Product Description Do you feel powerless to change the injustice at every level of society? Are you tired of answers that ignore the root causes of human suffering? This selection of writings by Eberhard Arnold, who left a career and the established church in order to live out the gospel, calls us to a completely different way. Be warned: Arnold doesn’t approach discipleship as the route to some benign religious fulfillment, but as a revolution - a transformation that begins within and spreads outward to encompass every aspect of life. Arnold writes in the same tradition of radical obedience to the gospel as his contemporaries Barth and Bonhoeffer. Review There is no better introduction to the thought and spirit of this twentieth-century prophet. -- Robert Ellsberg, Orbis Books Simple and prophetic. Restores the vital connection between belief and obedience. -- Jim Wallis, Sojourners Book Description Christ’s truths may heal and save, but to do so, they must first turn our lives upside down. Synopsis A revised anthology of Eberhard Arnold's writings. Arnold insists that true discipleship calls for revolution - a transformation that begins within, but spreads outward to encompass every aspect of life. About the Author Eberhard Arnold (1883–1935) studied theology, philosophy, and education and was widely sought as a speaker at student conferences and other gatherings. In 1920, leaving a promising career as a writer and the privileges of upper-middle- class life in Berlin, he moved with his wife and children to Sannerz, a small village in central Germany, where they founded a Christian community on the basis of the Sermon on the Mount.
