One of the most important and original thinkers of the twentieth century, Jacques Ellul (1912-1994) was a noted sociologist, historian, law professor, and self-described "Christian anarchist." At the University of Bordeaux, Ellul taught and wrote extensively on the relationship between technology and contemporary culture, the tenets of the Christian faith, and the principles of human freedom and responsibility. On Freedom, Love, and Power is the transcription of a series of talks given by Ellul in 1974 in which he refines and clarifies some of his most controversial insights on the Jewish and Christian Bibles and their relevance to contemporary society.

This expanded edition of Ellul's talks features additional material, previously unavailable, that focuses on Christianity's potential service to humanity as a community that exemplifies a society where people are reconciled with one another and with God.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Without hesitation or qualification, I recommend this book... Vanderburg has truly offered a service to Ellul readers and to all of us.'―Ken Badley, Christian Scholar's Review
'Ellul's exegetical insights are striking... The book is thoroughly thought-provoking and original.'―Spencer Boersma, Toronto Journal of Theology
'On Freedom, Love, and Power is easily the most important and exciting work in Christian interpretation that I have read in years.'―Richard Stivers, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Illinois State University
'On Freedom, Love, and Power is a landmark achievement. It showcases Jacques Ellul's elegant and insightful thinking on the Bible, religion, and efficiency. A clear and powerful collaboration between Ellul and Willem H. Vanderburg, two thinkers who are focused on directing human beings toward health and life, it is a work I cannot recommend too highly.'―Tim Blackmore, Faculty of Information and Media Studies, University of Western Ontario
'People who are weary of organized religion will find On Freedom, Love, and Power a source of clarity and inspiration. Faithful church-goers will also rejoice as it cuts through to depths of understanding that are new and refreshing.'―Rev. Dr. Bob Giuliano, Professor Emeritus, Huron University College

admire Ellul - really was an excellent resource for the first part of Genesis and John - have not read the Job, Matthew and Revelation chapters yet- don't think anyone would be disappointed by buying.
