Promotional Information

'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
