Jacques Ellul

Jacques Ellul (January 6, 1912 - May 19, 1994) was a French philosopher, sociologist, theologian and Christian anarchist. He wrote several books against the "technological society", and some about Christianity and politics, like Anarchy and Christianity (1991) explaining that anarchism and Christianity are socially following the same goal.

Born in Bordeaux, France. University of Bordeaux and the University of Paris. Doctor of Laws. Professor of the history of law and social history, at Bordeaux.

"Although Jacques Ellul may not yet have been converted to Christianity when he first went to the University of Bordeaux (his faith took some time to develop its final form), on August 10, 1930, God appeared to him in a vision which forever after he modestly refused to describe." [1] (http://www.ellul.org/bio_e.htm)

In World War II, leader in the French resistance. Prominent in the worldwide Ecumenical movement.

Four children.
