Why We Live in Community

Eberhard Arnold

Everyone's talking about "community" these days. Arnold and Merton say it can be lived, too.

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 "adventure of faith" shared with others along the way. Neither writer describes (or prescribes) community here, but they do provide a vision to guide our search.

For both the uninitiated seeker and the veteran, this book offers guidance - and a disarming call to a renewed commitment and a deepened faith.

About the Author

Arnold, Eberhard: - Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) studied theology, philosophy, and education and was widely sought as a speaker at student conferences and other gatherings. In 1920, leaving a promising career as a writer and the privileges of upper-middle- class life in Berlin, he moved with his wife and children to Sannerz, a small village in central Germany, where they founded a Christian community on the basis of the Sermon on the Mount.

Praise for this book

One of the most challenging statements on community that I have ever read. Its radical God-centeredness makes it not only very demanding, but also very inviting, comforting, and reassuring.
It would be foolhardy to try to distill the message of this book. It is already distilled, crystal clear... beautifully designed and produced, a pleasure to hold, see, and read.
