War and Peace
This book was of more help to me in understanding the Bible than most I have read in the past thirty years. Methodist Bishop Warman, Central Pennsylvania Conference Recommended as an able presentation of a position that must be countered by those who would use force to accomplish a 'good end.' 'Christianity Today' Eller has wit as well as learning and some very real insight into biblical wisdom.... Agnostics and skeptics along with a large number of co-religionists could very well appreciate his original...interpretation. 'Publishers Weekly' Although Eller's touch is light, his goal is sharply in focus: to get his reader to adopt such a faith in God and His sovereign providence that he is willing to defer to Him who is the Great Avenger, rather than to take things into his own hands as far as His Cause is concerned, including one's own welfare.... Young people especially will like this book. Excellent for church libraries. J. C. Wenger, in 'Provident Book Finder'

War and Peace from Genesis to Revelation
Vernard Eller's easily read overview of the Bible that persuasively points to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of the Old Testament suffering-servant model. A biblically provocative book.
Kierkegaard and Radical Discipleship
Until recently most scholars have viewed Kierkegaard as a philosopher, a theologian, a psychologist, or a social thinker. Professor Eller sees Kierkegaard first and foremost as a religious thinker, and states that Kierkegaard himself felt his works could be best understood if they were read with this in mind. In order to show that Kierkegaard's religious thought is essentially that of classic Protestant sectarianism, Professor Eller has selected a typical sect, the Brethren, against which to measure Kierkegaard. He finds that, although the Brethren writers were not as sophisticated or learned as Kierkegaard, there were parallels in their writings on such topics as the importance of the indiv...
The Outward Bound
Here is what may well be the most readable - and yet the most radically thought-provoking - critique of the contemporary church available today.To put the matter simply (as Vernard Eller invariably succeeds in doing), the problem with today's congregations is that they are usually far more concerned to 'be' somewhere than to 'get' somewhere; to establish and consolidate a secure position, rather than to push on toward a goal.But according to the New Testament, observes Eller, stability and security are precisely 'not' what God intended for the church. Instead, Eller believes, the church should be a do-it-yourself, de-institutionalized, de-professionalized people in a caravan - a community of the outward bound. Eller devotes most of his time in this volume to providing concrete guidelines for achieving that goal.Addressing individual members and congregations rather than church hierarchies, 'The Outward Bound' is a lively and challenging summons to a richer and more biblical community life.
Christian Anarchism
Christian anarchism has been around for at least as long as “secular” anarchism. Leo Tolstoy is its most famous proponent, but there are many others, such as Jacques Ellul, Vernard Eller, Dave Andrews or the people associated with the Catholic Worker movement. They offer a compelling critique of the state, the church and the economy based on the New Testament.
Thy Kingdom Come
Some two hundred selections give evidence of a lifetime of intensive and fruitful struggle with the great issues of faith: redemption, the kingdom of God, revelation, pacifism, and the suffering of humanity.

"Campbell is also known for his writings, both fiction and non-fiction."--BOOK JACKET.
