In The Conscience, Eberhard Arnold addresses the healing power of our moral compass, emphasizing its role in fostering community and personal growth.
In The Conscience, Eberhard Arnold explores the profound role of our inner moral compass and its potential for healing. The conscience, often disregarded or misunderstood in modern society, serves as a vital guide for personal and communal well-being. Arnold argues that when individuals confront their troubled consciences, they can experience a transformative healing process that not only liberates them but also empowers them to contribute positively to their communities. By embracing Christ's forgiveness, one can find renewed clarity and purpose in navigating the complexities of life.
As the second volume in the series Inner Land: A Guide into the Heart of the Gospel, The Conscience delves into the spiritual journey of understanding oneself and the world. Arnold's approach is not about retreating into isolation; rather, it encourages active engagement with the pressing issues of society. He emphasizes that true inner strength is cultivated not for selfish peace but as a means to address the urgent moral challenges of the day. The book serves as a reminder that our spiritual lives are intertwined with our responsibilities to others.
Arnold's reflections are particularly poignant in today's context, where distractions and relativism often cloud our moral judgment. By revisiting the essence of the conscience, The Conscience invites readers to rediscover the power of their inner voice. In doing so, it aims to foster a sense of community, joy, and justice, ultimately guiding individuals toward a life rich in purpose and connection with God and others.
The undeniable power of Arnold’s writing owes to the fact that there is no difference between what he professed to believe and the way he lived. It gives his words a resonance and depth, a right to be heard. --Juli Loesch Wiley, New Oxford Review
The aim of God in history is the creation of an all-inclusive community of persons with Christ as its prime sustainer and most glorious inhabitant. Arnold’s vision incarnates just such a community. --Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
Innerland calls men and women to a life of such trust in God that their attitudes toward his kingdom, other people, material wealth, and earthly power are transformed. --Christianity Today
Arnold’s writing has all the simple, luminous, direct vision into things that I have come to associate with his name. It has the authentic ring of a truly evangelical Christianity and moves me deeply. It stirs to repentance and renewal. --Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain
Arnold’s writings are a light of hope in an age which seems very dark. May they no longer remain hidden under a bushel, but shine out to be heeded by many. --Jürgen Moltmann
The witness of Eberhard Arnold is a much needed corrective to an American church that has lost the vital, biblical connection between belief and obedience. --Jim Wallis, Sojourners
Innerland is a bold and challenging invitation to the path of discipleship that speaks to both the terrors and the hopes of our time. Along with the likes of John Woolman, Thomas Kelly, and Dorothy Day, Eberhard Arnold is one of the great secrets of radical Christianity. The reprinting of this masterpiece is truly a gift. –Chris Faatz, Powell’s Books
