Critics Review

Sorokin, Harvard University An admirable, excellent book needed by a world which has turned against the Great Teaching of Jesus.

About The Author

Eberhard Arnold

Writer and publisher, pastor and social revolutionary, organic farmer and maverick theologian, author Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) defies easy categorization. Though largely unknown today, he was widely sought as a public speaker in his native Germany before and after World War I, and influenced thousands during his lifetime. In 1920, leaving a promising career and the privileges of upper-middle-class life in Berlin, he moved with his wife and children to Sannerz, a village where they founded a commune on the basis of New Testament ideals.
