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.… (mer)

God's Revolution by Eberhard Arnold is a thought-provoking and deeply inspiring book. Arnold presents a compelling vision for a just and compassionate society, grounded in a deep commitment to Christian faith and values. Throughout the book, he challenges readers to examine their own lives and to consider how they can work towards creating a more equitable and loving world.

One of the things that I found most striking about the book is its emphasis on community and the importance of coming together to create positive change. Arnold writes about the need for individuals to connect with one another, to support one another, and to work together towards a common goal. He also discusses the role that faith can play in helping us to build strong and resilient communities.

In addition to its focus on community, God's Revolution also offers a powerful critique of contemporary society and the ways in which it falls short of the values that Jesus taught. Arnold is unafraid to speak truth to power, and his words are sure to resonate with anyone who is concerned about the state of the world today.

Overall, I would highly recommend God's Revolution to anyone who is interested in exploring the intersection of faith, justice, and community. This is a thought-provoking and deeply moving book that has the power to inspire and transform.

The book God’s Revolution provides excerpts from the works of Eberhard Arnold, the founder of the Bruderhof intentional community. As the book’s title suggests, this book proposes that living by God’s word is a revolution to how society currently lives. This is especially true I the areas of war, peace, and the economy. The Bruderhof leads a counter-cultural existence as compared to much of Western society and their communities provide a living example of one radical way of understanding how to live in that community. The book is a series of excerpts from Arnold’s writing with most selections about one or two paragraphs. Since it is a compendium of parts of several works the thought is sometimes difficult to trace. With each section, it was difficult to understand the organizing principle. I think that if the selections were organized by date within each section, then it would have been easier to understand. This book is especially helpful if one wishes to understand one way of living the Christian life. ( )

A Christian-focused look at the world. I found it an interesting read. Arnold's faith, the Bruderhof, was outlawed by the rising Nazi party in 1930s. ( )

I am overdue to review this book, which I read months ago. This is a collection of excerpts from Arnold's lectures, sermons and other writings. Some of them are quite striking but on the whole I find I prefer extended arguments Arnold makes to the excerpts, as insightful and often poetic as they are. ( )

Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) founded the first Bruderhof (“place of brothers”) Christian community in Germany in 1920. Today Bruderhof communities can be found in the US, the UK, Germany, Austria, Paraguay, and Australia. They all practice non-violence, peacemaking, common ownership of assets, and life-long marriage. First published in 1984, God’s Revolution consists of selected passages drawn largely from Arnold’s lecture notes that lay out his vision and rationale for the communal life of the Bruderhof.

Now in its third edition, the book has added a brief history of Arnold’s life by Mennonite theologian John Yoder and an introduction by Methodist theologian Stanley Hauerwas on Arnold’s message for contemporary readers. In his book, Arnold portrays the Bruderhof as offering the world a vision of the Church as a community that exhibits: (1) a practical expression of the coming kingdom of God; (2) a reflection of perfect unity, justice, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit; and (3) a fellowship that faithfully observes the dictates of the Sermon on the Mound. His book is recommended for all readers ready to confront the challenges that this vision poses for today’s churches. ( )
