Founder of the Bruderhof
Eberhard Arnold was a German pastor, theologian, anti-Nazi dissident, and co-founder of the Bruderhof.
Daily Inspiration
We expect God’s future with as much assurance as a farmer awaits his coming harvest. We need to be prepared for terrible suffering and the cruelest death in these dangerous times, for we know that faith can be proved only in distress and persecution. The wrath of God and the fire of his judgment must spread across a world unprepared for his coming. And if we, too, give way to our flesh and want to be spared, if we crave for the comfortable life we led earlier with the rest of the world, then we shall have to meet judgment like everyone else and remain far from God’s kingdom of God. - Eberhard ArnoldMore Quotes
Pastor
From the time of his conversion at age sixteen Arnold involved himself in the spiritual care of others: first as a leader in the Student Christian Movement, later as a counselor for soldiers returning home from the battlefields of World War I, and then as leader of the Bruderhof, the Christian community he founded.
I can only say that I feel more and more certain and more and more happy in my inner calling to deeds in the love of Jesus, and to the discipleship of Christ in all aspects of practical life. - Eberhard ArnoldLearn More
Educator
The education of the children being raised within the Bruderhof was a priority for Arnold. He believed children should be educated in a broad context of life and that their innate love of learning could be nurtured best when all aspects of life were valued equally: heart, head, and hand. He drew on the work of German pedagogues Friedrich Fröbel and Heinrich Pestalozzi in the development of his approach. Learn MoreFriend of the Arts
Arnold was strongly opposed to automation and mechanization, believing that work done as a labor of love had redemptive power. As a publisher, his approach to book design was meticulous. Fonts were selected with care (in one example working with designer Rudolf Koch) and for illustrations he commissioned woodcuts to be made by recognized artists. Throughout his life Arnold wrote poems in which he gave expression to his thoughts. He had some of them put to music and published.Learn MoreChurch Historian
A descendant of a long line of church historians, Arnold’s interest in the subject was kindled at an early age. As a university student he took a special interest in the Anabaptist movement of the sixteenth century. Their commitment to nonviolence and communal sharing was particularly inspirational to him. After founding the Bruderhof, Arnold took pains to educate members about the different movements of faith in history; the early Christian church, the Moravian Brethren, the Quakers, the Waldensians, the Hutterites, and others.To the prophetic view, God appears as the guide and shepherd of all history. He guides men’s external destinies towards the one goal, which is the uniting of all nations in one fold. Man is received into the domain of God’s kingdom. The essence of this kingdom is the rulership of love. - Eberhard ArnoldLearn More
Theologian
Arnold studied theology at the University of Halle but was denied the opportunity to sit for the doctoral exam after stating his intention to leave the state church. He later completed a doctorate in philosophy. Arnold chose to take the words of Jesus at face value and live by them, returning again and again to the Sermon on the Mount. He was known to bring his guests behind the house and carry on theological debates while turning compost. He believed in the Holy Spirit and the church community that was a fruit of this Spirit: a church with divine authority to forgive sins and to speak truth to power.Jesus paves the new way for God to enter the world. This new way seeks out darkness but does not fall prey to it. Not until now can God, in the outpouring of his Spirit, unfold his heart to humankind in full forgiveness and reconciliation. - Eberhard ArnoldLearn More
Communitarian
Arnold found the solution to the disintegration of society in intentional community. In numerous essays he explained how renouncing private property and living with others in harmony and love was the only answer to war and injustice. But he was also fully aware of the irritations and petty jealousies that arise when people live in close proximity; these must be addressed in honesty and humility.It is clear to us that the first Christian community in Jerusalem was more than a historical happening. It was here that the Sermon on the Mount came to life. - Eberhard ArnoldLearn More
Christian Socialist and Pacifist
Through his work with the Salvation Army, Arnold became aware of the poverty in the city slums. Reading Hermann Kutter’s book They Must was pivotal in drawing him to Christian socialism. In his work as a chaplain with wounded veterans of World War I Arnold experienced first-hand the physical and spiritual trauma caused by war and gradually came to believe that Christians can never take part in violence. This conviction, along with the realization that war is inevitably a result of materialistic greed, led him to seek an alternative way of life in community with others.Christ’s people are sent out to work among humanity, to have an effect in the world, just as Jesus himself did. They must represent the message of the future kingdom, and their task and their actions cannot be different from Christ’s: to bring help and deliverance for soul and body, to heal and help in all sufferings and torments. - Eberhard ArnoldLearn More
