Against the Wind by Markus Baum
This biography examines the forces that shaped the life of Eberhard Arnold and the people he associated with. The author recreates an era where thousands of young men and women in Weimar Germany rejected conventional mores and struck out on a different path.
Truly like Saint Francis, Arnold let Christ alone teach him what he was to doThe example of both their lives challenge us to do the same. -- Murray Bodo, author, Tales of Saint Francis
Arnold’s life is a testimony that in community the Spirit, which can be found in all traditions, can reveal to us the real causes of social injustice. -- Thich Nhat Hanh, author, Love in Action
Appreciation for Arnold and the Christian tradition he so eloquently represents is long overdue. -- Harvey Cox, Harvard University Divinity School
Arnold is a significant figure of faith in the twentieth century. His vision and commitment to discipleship, community, nonviolence, and God’s kingdom challenge all who seek to follow Jesus. -- Jim Wallis, Sojourners
Some claim that the Sermon on the Mount cannot be literally applied to modern life. Arnold’s biography is a convincing rebuttal. This twentieth-century apostle truly lived the Gospel. -- Robert Ellsberg, author, All Saints
