Reviews

""Jacques Ellul's fortieth book is certain to be regarded as one of his most important and provocative works--and this from an author who specializes in provocation of both the world and the church! ""The Subversion of Christianity provides a sober, challenging examination of many misguided appropriations of the world into the Church. It stands as a formidable contribution to our contemporary quest for ways of thought and life that are faithful to Jesus Christ...."" --David W. Gill in Fides et Historia (from a review of the French edition)
