About the Author
Eberhard Arnold (1883–1935) was a German theologian, philosopher, and founder of the Bruderhof Christian movement, whose writings continue to inspire seekers of authentic Christian community and radical discipleship. Born in Breslau, Arnold's early life was marked by a profound spiritual awakening that led him to reject materialism and embrace the teachings of Jesus as a blueprint for societal transformation. Influenced by the Sermon on the Mount, he advocated for voluntary poverty, communal living, and nonviolence, establishing intentional communities that embodied these ideals amid the turmoil of early 20th-century Europe. His works, blending deep biblical insight with practical vision, call readers to a life of justice, peace, and mutual aid, offering timeless guidance for building God's kingdom on earth. Arnold's legacy endures through the Bruderhof communities and his enduring publications.
