Pulse-quickening…Blumhardt reminds us that personal peace is merely the wrapping paper of a more magnificent gift: confidence in the coming of God’s kingdom. (Rodney Clapp)Who else, besides Barth, is so unrelenting in their attack on religion? Yet who else uses the language of faith so straightforwardly and without apology? (Stanley Hauerwas, co-author, Resident Aliens)Blumhardt does something very few of us can do: represent God’s cause in the world yet not wage war on the world, love the world and yet be faithful to God. (Karl Barth)
