Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) was one of the most remarkable Christian figures of the twentieth century. In the years after World War I he abandoned his career as an academic theologisn to live by the radical spirit of the Sermon on the Mount. With his family and a small circle of friends he founded the Bruderhof, a community rooted in the Anabaptist tradition. His writings, which concern the quest of peace, ring with the inspiring challenge to live as if the Gospel were true.
