About the Book

Everyone’s talking about community these days. In this time-honored manifesto, Eberhard Arnold and Thomas Merton add their voices to the vital discussion of what 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 – and a disarming call to renewed commitment and deepened faith.

Praise

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.

Henri J. M. Nouwen, L’Arche/DayBreak

The undeniable power of Eberhard Arnold’s writing owes to the fact that there is absolutely no difference between what he pro­­fessed to believe and the way he lived. It gives to his words a resonance and depth, a right to be heard. For plainspoken words and the unsettling challenge of a life lived faithfully, we can all be grateful for his witness.
