This World¿s Revolution and God¿s Revolution

Feeling powerless to change the greed and injustice at every level of society? Tired of answers that ignore the true causes of human suffering? This revised anthology of Arnolds most compelling writings challenges us to seek the eternal truths of Christs way. But be warned: to Arnold, discipleship means revolution a transformation that begins within, but spreads outward to encompass every aspect of life. Here is the raw reality of the Gospel that has power to change the world.

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.
