Andre Trocme (1901-1971) is famous for his role in saving thousands of Jews from the Nazis, as pastor of the French village of Le Chambon. But his bold deeds did not spring from a void. They were rooted in his understanding of Jesus’ way of nonviolence and the social implications of Jesus’ proclamation of the Kingdom of God on earth.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.Newly revised and expanded, this edition includes a concise biography of Andre Trocme, and extensive notes on how contemporary thinkers have grappled with his ideas.
