"THE POLITICS OF GOD AND THE POLITICS OF ELLUL"
JOYCE M. HANKS*
JETS 35/2 (June 1992) 217-230

Excerpt:
Jacques Ellul holds that politics is relative but that contemporary
thinking has assigned ultimate value to it: "All life today is in fact oriented to politics....
Politics has gradually invaded everything... all our judgments are political."
In his writings Ellul tends to view from a political angle nearly every problem
he examines. Most of his fifty-some books, as well as many of his hundreds of
articles, involve his political philosophyto a high degree. The following
overview of Ellul's political thought will necessarily skim over issues that
deserve closer analysis, express some personal impressions
not shared by other readers of Ellul, and leave many
apparent contradictions unresolved. If it provokes spirited response and
debate, this article will accomplish one of its primary objectives.
