"A concise introduction to the thought and vision of Eberhard Arnold, the founder of the Bruderhof community"--
Hoy en día, todos están hablando de ¿comunidad¿. Según Arnold y Merton, se puede vivirla también.En este manifiesto, Arnold y Merton plantean la posibilidad de la vida comunitaria intencional y examinan sus rasgos más destacados: amor, alegría, unidad y la gran aventura de fe, compartidos con otros en el camino. No describen ni prescriben la vida en comunidad; en cambio, ofrecen un ideal para guiar la búsqueda, y un llamado a renovar el compromiso y profundizar la fe.
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus puts aside his usual parables and speaks plainly in language anyone can understand.Like Francis of Assisi and others, Arnold chose to live out Jesus' teachings by embracing their self- sacrificing demands. In this collection of talks and essays, he calls us to live for the Sermon's ultimate goal: the overturning of the prevailing order of injustice. In its place, Arnold writes, we must build up a just, peaceable society motivated by love.
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.
This theologian¿s most significant work, now being released in five smaller books.A Plough classic reissued to celebrate the centennial of our publishing house¿s founding by Eberhard Arnold in 1920.Part of a beautifully designed series of ten titles by this author, including reissues and new titles.Eberhard Arnold interacts with contemporaries such as Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Niemöller, Martin Buber, Paul Tillich, and Jürgen Moltmann.
When troubled consciences find healing they become a force for good.The conscience, our inner moral compass, is a sensitive instrument meant to warn us against all that might endanger our life and happiness. Many today despise or ignore the conscience, calling its working unhealthy repression of natural urges, or rejecting any certainty in the name of relativism. Others are tormented by its accusations.In this little book, Arnold points the way to complete healing and restoration of even the most troubled conscience. When Christ's forgiveness sets the conscience free and floods it with his live-renewing spirit, it becomes an active force for good, giving us clarity in personal, social, and political questions and leading us to peace, joy, justice, and community.The Conscience is the second volume of five in Inner Land: A Guide into the Heart of the Gospel.About Inner LandA trusted guide into the inner realm where our spirits find strength to master life and live for God.It is hard to exaggerate the significance of Innerland, either for Eberhard Arnold or his readers. It absorbed his energies off and on for most of his adult life--from World War I, when he published the first chapter under the title War: A Call to Inwardness, to 1935, the last year of his life.Packed in metal boxes and buried at night for safekeeping from the Nazis, who raided the author's study a year before his death (and again a year after it), Innerland was not openly critical of Hitler's regime. Nevertheless, it attacked the spirits that animated German society: its murderous strains of racism and bigotry, its heady nationalistic fervor, its mindless mass hysteria, and its vulgar materialism. In this sense Innerland stands as starkly opposed to the zeitgeist of our own day as to that of the author's.At a glance, the focus of Innerland seems to be the cultivation of the spiritual life as an end in itself. Nothing could be more misleading. In fact, to Eberhard Arnold the very thought of encouraging the sort of selfish solitude whereby people seek their own private peace by shutting out the noise and rush of public life around them is anathema. He writes in The Inner Life:<br."e;These are times of distress. We cannot retreat, willfully blind to the overwhelming urgency of the tasks pressing on society. We cannot look for inner detachment in an inner and outer isolation...The only justification for withdrawing into the inner self to escape today's confusing, hectic whirl would be that fruitfulness is enriched by it. It is a question of gaining within, through unity with eternal powers, a strength of character ready to be tested in the stream of the world."e;Innerland, then, calls us not to passivity, but to action. It invites us to discover the abundance of a life lived for God. It opens our eyes to the possibilities of that "e;inner land of the invisible where our spirit can find the roots of its strength and thus enable us to press on to the mastery of life we are called to by God."e; Only there, says Eberhard Arnold, can our life be placed under the illuminating light of the eternal and seen for what it is. Only there will we find the clarity of vision we need to win the daily battle that is life, and the inner anchor without which we will lose our moorings.
Eberhard Arnold (1883¿1935) fue una de las figuras cristianas más notables del siglo XX. En los años posteriores a la primera guerra mundial, abandonó su carrera como teólogo universitario para vivir el espíritu radical del Sermón del monte. Con su familia y un pequeño círculo de amigos fundó el Bruderhof, una comunidad arraigada en la tradición anabautista. En sus escritos, preocupados por la búsqueda de la paz, la comunidad y el llamamiento a una rev¬olución del espíritu, se escucha el reto evangélico que invita a vivir comprometidamente desde la autenticidad personal. Menos conocido en el mundo hispanohablante, este libro brinda la oportunidad de leer una selección de escritos que permiten escuchar su voz profética.
Features 40 short Christmas meditations to prepare us to meet Christ anew.

Why has God not answered my prayers? What should I be praying for? If everything I prayed for came true, would I be ready?In this spiritual classic, Eberhard Arnold mines the riches of biblical teaching on prayer and the example of Jesus, the Hebrew prophets, and the early Christians to point us back to the prayer that pleases God most - prayer that has the power to transform our lives and our world. In a new reflective response, much-loved author Richard J. Foster relates Arnold's words to our contemporary reality.
In this time-honored manifesto, Arnold and Merton add their voices to the vital discussion of what real community is all about: love, joy, unity, and the great "e;adventure of faith"e; shared with others along the way. Neither writer describes (or prescribes) community here, but they do provide a vision to guide our search.
