MONEY AND POWER
Ellul, Jacques
InterVarsity Press, 1984
173 pages

Ellul is a consummate Christian thinker. In this updated 1954 classic he exposes the inability of socialism, capitalism and Marxism to ensure economic justice. Money is not neutral in any system, according to Ellul; it is a “power... that acts by itself.” Jesus personifies mammon as a demanding god, an enemy of God’s kingdom. After chapters on wealth in the Old Testament, teaching children about money, and the world’s rich and poor, the author challenges Christians to live responsibly, by the law of grace and not by ideologies of this age.
