Jesus and the Nonviolent Revolution cover

This influential work by André Trocmé emphasizes the importance of nonviolence in Jesus' teachings, inspiring readers to enact meaningful change.

In Jesus and the Nonviolent Revolution, André Trocmé explores the profound implications of Jesus' teachings on nonviolence and their relevance in the modern world. Trocmé, renowned for his courageous efforts to save Jews during World War II, draws from his deep understanding of Jesus' message to advocate for love, repentance, and social change. This insightful work, long out of print, offers readers a chance to engage with a perspective of Jesus that emphasizes action and transformation rather than mere spiritual reflection.

The book delves into the heart of Jesus' teachings, challenging readers to reconsider their understanding of faith in the context of societal issues. Trocmé's prophetic voice cuts through doctrinal complexities, presenting a compelling case for nonviolence as a means to address the pressing political and economic challenges we face today. His insights encourage a reexamination of how faith can inspire real-world change, urging individuals to embody the principles of love and justice in their everyday lives.

As readers navigate through Jesus and the Nonviolent Revolution, they will encounter a Jesus who is not only a figure of spiritual significance but also a catalyst for practical and meaningful action. Trocmé's work serves as a reminder that the call to nonviolence is as urgent now as it was in Jesus' time, inviting us to reflect on how we can contribute to a more peaceful and just world.

Trocmé has the prophetic gift of bypassing doctrinal fluff and cutting to the heart of Jesus’ message: a stark call for repentance, love, and socio-economic change. Read him with caution: this book may change your life. -- Donald Kraybill, author, The Upside-Down Kingdom
This splendid volume deserves wider recognition as the classic it truly is. -- Richard Cassidy, author, Paul in Chains
Plough has done scholars, pastors, and laypersons all a great service by reprinting this classic. Not everyone will agree with every detail, but all will feel the compelling force of Trocmé’s cumulative case. This is a book worth pondering at length. -- Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary
