The Politics of God and the Politics of Man

Man's freedom and God's omnipotence: how can they be reconciled? That question is central to this penetrating study of political action and the prophetic function. Jacques Ellul's answer to that question, though based on events recorded in the Second Book of Kings, is immediately relevant to contemporary issues and to the church today. Emerging from these reflections is an eloquent testimony to the immense love of God, “which not only creates and saves but which also in its incomprehensible humility wants to associate man with its work.”
