| This is a helpful book to see that the Bible is not some fact book that always recounts exact events. There are very clear narratival selections and themes present in the stories told, details given, and even word roots selected. Eli being overweight ...more | |

| The author did a great job of proposing a redemptive hermeneutic without overstepping his bounds. He acknowledged the limitations and was open to being wrong, but provided a framework to consider how we interpret the Bible. I found most of what he wr ...more | |

| This is a massive work. I’m sure there’s bias involved, but there is so much information here, it would be easy to verify. The author shows how freedom leads more to justice (or a lack of injustice, at least) and power tends towards corruption (seen ...more | |

Definitely some dense portions in the middle , but pretty digestible. I especially appreciated how the author showed how K wasn’t a hyper individualist, but how the individual is vital for self, community, and love. |

| I had this book on my list for awhile but finally got around to it after Ellul referenced it. I feel like the author described our society to a t, and he wrote this way back in 1967. There are some very insightful and fascinating concepts in here. It ...more | |

| The book was hard to get into, but it really began to hit hard about half way through. Ellul was prescient as to propaganda, and he’s no less prescient about how technique is shaping us as societies and individuals. I especially need to go back and r ...more | |
