Summary:

Jacques Ellul (1913-1994) was a French sociologist, philosopher, and lay theologian whose prophetic critique of modern civilization and technology won an appreciative audience far beyond Christian circles. Yet this was only one half of his project. For nearly every sociological book he wrote, Ellul would write a theological or spiritual counterpart. This volume highlights that side of his work, with spiritual gems on prayer, hope, and universal salvation. His call to reject the worship of the state and to embrace nonviolent activism has an abiding relevance and urgency. Book jacket.
