Eberhard Arnold
The essential writings and vision of Eberhard Arnold, the founder of the Bruderhof community, whose admirers included Thomas Merton and Thich Nhat Hanh.
Eberhard Arnold
For a concise, readable introduction to the writings of a man who, in his search for Christ, spent his life turning conventional Christianity on its head, this is a good place to start. Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) is relatively unknown today, yet in his prime his impact was felt by hundreds of thousands, and his life's work bears fruit today as few lives have. In 1920, venturing into an unknown future -- and leaving wealth, security, and a public speaking career -- he moved with his wife Emmy from Berlin to a tiny village, where they founded a small community on the basis of early church practices as described in the Book of Acts. Contains a biographical sketch, selections from his most important works, and brief memoirs by friends and colleagues.
Eberhard Arnold
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.
Against the Wind
Against the Wind gives flesh, blood, and personality to Eberhard Arnold, a man whose contagious faith sparked a movement of practical Christian community. The Bruderhof, Arnold's legacy, carries on his commitment to integrate faith and action in today's world.
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.

Fire and Spirit
Lightning and forest fires could strike terror in primitive humans, yet they also cherished fire as a life-giving gift from the gods. Eberhard Arnold surveys the symbolism of light and fire in the Bible, literature, and history to illuminate our love/fear relationship with God. The Holy Spirit, like fire, is a two-edged sword: it brings the blazing wrath of God's judgment, consuming all that is dead and cold in us, but also the radiant warmth of his love, mercy, and redemption. Though Inner Land was not explicitly critical of the Nazi regime, it nevertheless attacked the spirits that animated German society at the time: racism and bigotry, nationalistic fervor, mass hysteria, and materialism...
Innerland
A wellspring of remarkable depth, Eberhard Arnold's classic work invites readers to respond to the chaos of a society distracted by violence and greed by turning to that "inner land of the invisible, where our spirit can find the roots of its strength." Only there, he says, will we find the clarity of vision we need to win the daily battle that is life.
The Living Word: Inner Land  " a Guide Into the Heart of the Gospel, Volume 5
What makes the Bible more than ink on paper? The living word, Eberhard Arnold writes, is greater than the words of the Bible, which even the devil used to tempt Jesus. The scriptures on their own can never produce the righteousness, mercy, and faithfulness that count before God. But when the Holy Spirit speaks this living word into the hearts of those who have set out on the way of discipleship to Christ, the deepest meaning of the scriptures are opened up to them. Those who have accepted this living word, which never contradicts the Bible, also agree with one another. Transformed from within, they receive the strength, clarity, and unity they need to carry out the task God has given them - ...
