Rich or poor, we all face the problem of money. But is money chiefly a personal problem of how we manage our resources or a societal problem of how we organize the economy? Jacques Ellul exposes the folly of a purely societal approach -- whether communism, collectivism, socialism, or capitalism -- and argues for individual responsibility. Money, he says, is not neutral, somthing we can use as we like. Instead it is a powerful agent that sets itself against God's kingdom. Tracing the scriptural attitudes toward wealth from Old Testament sacramentalism through New Testament renunciation, he challenges Christians to live by the law of grace and not by the law of the marketplace.

Editorial Reviews

Review

""Ellul's Money and Powerremains the finest single work available anywhere on the theological and practical implications of our use and abuse of money, and the current financial crisis proves the validity of Ellul's assertions. Business leaders and citizens alike would be well served to read it carefully."" Randy M. Ataide Associate Professor of Business Point Loma Nazarene University ""After the current meltdown of the entire secular religion of 'greed is good, ' or, more academically, 'the invisible hand, ' the world should surely turn with a truly receptive attitude to this Ellul classic, Money and Power."" Rustum Roy, Emeritus Professor of Science, Technology, and Society Pennsylvania State University

About the Author

Jacques Ellul (1912 - 1994), long time Professor of the History & Sociology of Institutions at the University of Bordeaux, France, was one of the twentieth century's most important analysts and critics of our emerging technological society --- and any lukewarm, conformist Christianity that fails to salt and light that society and culture. Money and Power is one of his fifty books that remains as fresh and relevant as when it first came out in 1954.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A prophetic voice of the 20th century
    Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I had a copy before and gave it away. Needed another copy to consider once again this prophetic message to Christians everywhere but especially to Mammon saturated America. The chapter on how to teach children about money is well worth the price.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Important Work.
    Reviewed in Canada on September 18, 2017

    I cannot recommend this book more highly in our time of systemic polarized arguments about money and governance. Ellul lays out a practical, personal and Gospel based response to the powers of this world.
