Sources and Trajectories: Eight Early Articles that Set the StageThis is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. This book is composed of eight articles written by Ellul and not previously translated into English. The eight were chosen not necessarily for their clarity or power to convince, but because they are the earliest formulations of some of Ellul's key ideas. |
