We can denounce not merely the abuses of power but power itself. - Jacques Ellul

The work of Christian intellectuals is not done in the abstract; it is effective participation in the preservation of the world, and in the building up of the church.

I describe a world with no exit, convinced that God accompanies man throughout his history.

In the world everyone wants to be a 'wolf,' and no one is called to play the part of 'sheep.' Yet the world cannot live without this living witness of sacrifice. That is why it is essential that Christians should be very careful not to be 'wolves' in the spiritual sense - that is, people who try to dominate others. Christians must accept the domination of other people, and offer the daily sacrifice of their lives, which is united with the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
