Jacques Ellul
Propaganda: The Formation of Men's Attitudes
Jacques Ellul
Vintage
, 1973
Monumental!
Ellul's study still stands out as one of the greatest achievements in the history of the study of propaganda, in terms of how it is practiced, how/why it is effective and how it is inescapable and tied to the very nature of democratic society. Ellul's picture is not a ...

The "Shout (that) Re-echoes Through Scripture From Beginning to End"-Jacques Ellul
"COME OUT OF BABYLON (Rome), MY PEOPLE". Revelation 18, Daniel 2 This book is so beautiful. It's the first book I've read by Jacques Ellul. If all of his other books are similarly written, I'm totally sold on them. This book is the best book I've ever read by a ...
The Subversion of Christianity
Jacques Ellul
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
, 1986
an important work for all contemporary church-lovers
When I first read this book, so many things fell into place that I've been buying up copies and giving them to my friends to read. Ellul ably holds to the essential core of Christian teaching while showing how the church throughout history has consistently been led ...
Anarchy and Christianity
Jacques Ellul
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
, 1991
Christ & Caesar
Jacques Ellul was the bad boy of western Christianity during his lifetime, continuously gadflying rigid hierarchies, smug or tepid Christians, and orthodox theologians with book after book that challenged conventional wisdom. (In this regard, he reminds one of ...
The Humiliation of the Word
Jacques Ellul
William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
, 1985
A Thinking Person's Guide to Media Influence
After reading the other reviews I must add a few comments. First, you can't blame the author for lack of clarity. If you blame anyone, blame the translator. This book is translated from French and most translations are cumbersome. Second, Jacques Ellul is a Luddite ...
Living Faith: Belief and Doubt in a Perilous World
Jacques Ellul
Harpercollins

DAYS OF NOAH
"Faith demands that we give free play to uncertainty.....In the face of the innumerable proofs that the forecasters can't forecast...we have to go back to the wisdom of faith. The worst is always possible, no one can prevent it from materializing. We will never ...
The Presence of the Kingdom
Jacques Ellul

The First book to read in the Ellul Canon
Jacques Ellul{he of blessed memory], is a difficult man to catagorize. Profound thinker,anarchist and Christian,member of the resistance during WWII,Prophet on technology and propaganda{no one,well few,listened] his writings are somewhat dense{similar in some ways to ...
The Technological Society
Jacques Ellul
Vintage
, 1967
Technique - the bedrock of the modern world
Before proceeding with this review, let me just say that no fewer than a hundred pages could be trimmed from its content without diluting its message at all. Many of the examples used in the book are extremely dated; while I think I'm fairly well read, I confess that ...
Money & Power
Jacques Ellul
Inter-Varsity Press
, 1984
Thoroughly Brilliant
In this one of many brilliant books by Ellul, he exposes the folly of a purely collective, societal approach, such as that offered by communism, or capitalism. Instead, through a study of various Biblical references in the Old and New Testament, puts the responsibilty ...
Sources and Trajectories: Eight Early Articles by Jacques Ellul That Set the Stage
Jacques Ellul
Wipf & Stock Publishers
, 2003
Important but diminished by translation.
Any Ellul reader will want this collection. It does contain important ideas in a formative stage. But the translator does Ellul a disservice by straightening out Ellul's masculine nouns and other politically incorrect usages. This haunts me as I read it. It sets a bad ...
Technological Bluff
Jacques Ellul
Eerdmans Pub Co
, 1990
DO NOT PASS ELLUL: DO NOT COLLECT 100 DOLLARS.
This is a pretty good book for Ellul, with a few of his most common failings. I'll start with those. Written much later in his life (mid-1980s I believe) Ellul is much older, and discernably more crotchety. He complains of "music that is just noise" and that "kids ...
The Ethics of Freedom
Jacques Ellul
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
, 1976
The Politics of God and the Politics of Man
Jacques Ellul
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company
, 1972
Especially relevant in today's political climate
The book of Second Kings may not be everyone's top choice for critical analysis or for a prolonged meditation on the relation between faith and politics, but Ellul beautifully accomplishes both. Looking at the major figures of the Hebrew chronicle, Ellul discusses ...
