Pastor Johann Christoph Blumhardt: An Account of His Life

About this book

Though relatively unknown in America Johann Christoph Blumhardt (1805-1880) is widely recognized in his native Germany in part because of Friedrich Zndels landmark biography now available in English for the first time. The terrifying battle between the spiritual forces of good and evil described here and the awakening that followed catapulted Blumhardts parish into the public eye and still draws seekers to it. Zndels account is fascinating on a historical level but it is also infused with enduring pastoral insights and spiritual wisdom. Here is an almost unbelievable account of one persons faith in the inbreaking of Gods kingdom and its victory over powers that bind and divide humanity.
