[thumbnail pic: Jacques Ellul in his element!] Part 2 of Jacques Ellul's "The Subversion of Christianity". The author analyzes the common misapprehension that the Bible is a "religious book", either a code of law or a system of ethics and morality. Ellul shows that even though the Bible contains law, morality, ethics -- "religion", as most people define it -- all of Scripture's teachings are embedded in history. Not only Judaism (derived from the Old Testament), but also Christianity, in its New Testament setting, are both profoundly historical faiths when compared to other major religions.
