Status Updates From Understanding Jacques Ellul

Ellul’s approach to cities remains important both for the necessary prophetic urbanism in the world of the megaslums and for the necessary apocalyptic element in a world that tempts us to believe that [cities themselves] can deliver us from evil.

Perhaps worth the price of the book, the author's summary of Ellul's The Presence of the Kingdom reminded me of how seminal the book was and continues to be to my understanding of what it means to be a Christian in the modern world.
