Eberhard Arnold

Woodcrest Service Committee

For a concise, readable introduction to the writings of a man who, in his search for Christ, spent his life turning conventional Christianity on its head, this is a good place to start. Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) is relatively unknown today, yet in his prime his impact was felt by hundreds of thousands, and his life's work bears fruit today as few lives have. In 1920, venturing into an unknown future -- and leaving wealth, security, and a public speaking career -- he moved with his wife Emmy from Berlin to a tiny village, where they founded a small community on the basis of early church practices as described in the Book of Acts. Contains a biographical sketch, selections from his most important works, and brief memoirs by friends and colleagues.
