Jacques Ellul Quote

Cosmao's … thesis is that societies obey two sociological laws, … according to which, when left to their own inertia, they structure inequality and fabricate gods that become their masters. God's revelation in Jesus Christ expressly contradicts these two laws and should produce equality and destroy false gods. [Cosmao] contends, however, that Christianity has taken on the role of a civil religion and has thus become Christendom.
