Everyone's talking about "community" these days. Arnold and Merton say it can be lived, too. In this time-honored manifesto, Arnold and Merton add their voices to the vital discussion of what real 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. For both the uninitiated seeker and the veteran, this book offers guidance - and a disarming call to a renewed commitment and a deepened faith.

About the Author
Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) studied theology, philosophy, and education and was widely sought as a speaker at student conferences and other gatherings. In 1920, leaving a promising career as a writer and the privileges of upper-middle- class life in Berlin, he moved with his wife and children to Sannerz, a small village in central Germany, where they founded a Christian community on the basis of the Sermon on the Mount.

Reviews
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
It would be foolhardy to try to distill the message of this book. It is already distilled, crystal clear... beautifully designed and produced, a pleasure to hold, see, and read. -- Tom Cornell, The Catholic Worker
