Beschreibung
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, 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.
