Jesus and the Nonviolent Revolution Summary

Jesus and the Nonviolent Revolution by Andre Trocme

Trocme 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

Andre Trocme of Le Chambon is famous for his role in saving thousands of Jews from the Nazis during World War II. But his bold deeds did not spring from a void. They were rooted in his understanding of Jesus' way of nonviolence - an understanding that gave him the remarkable insights contained in this long out-of-print classic.

In this book, you'll encounter a Jesus you may have never met before - a Jesus who not only calls for spiritual transformation, but for practical changes that answer the most perplexing political, economic, and social problems of our time.

Jesus and the Nonviolent Revolution Reviews

Trocme 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 Trocme's cumulative case. This is a book worth pondering at length. -- Craig L. Blomberg, Denver Seminary
