Influential theologian:
Blumhardt had a strong influence on Karl Barth, Eberhard Arnold, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Jurgen Moltmann, and others.
This short book will be of interest not only to those in the Lutheran theological tradition, of which the author was a part, but to all interested in church renewal and its catalytic potential for impacting society. There is every likelihood that these pages will resonate with contemporary renewalists across the majority world, and that would be important not only for the ongoing reception of the Blumhardtian legacy but also for the renewal of Christian theology for the 21st century.--Amos Yong, Regent University
The surprise of grace, the life-giving reality of Christ, and the demand that Christians live toward and into the Kingdom of God--these are the great themes of Christoph Blumhardt's thought. Those looking for an introduction to Blumhardt are well advised to start with The Gospel of God's Reign. Those already acquainted with Blumhardt's life and witness will receive this volume with gratitude and, most likely, some measure of awe.--Paul Dafydd Jones, University of Virginia
