About the Author

André Trocmé (1901-1971) is best known as the Protestant pastor of the French village of Le Chambon who organized the rescue of Jews during Nazi occupation. After the war he became a leading voice for peace and reconciliation.

Reviews

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.
