International Jacques Ellul Society (IJES)

About this Organization

The International Jacques Ellul Society was founded in 2000 by former students of Ellul. It links scholars and friends of various specializations, vocations, backgrounds, and nations, who share a common interest in the legacy of Jacques Ellul (1912–94), longtime professor at the University of Bordeaux. It is the anglophone sister society of the francophone Association internationale Jacques Ellul.

The Society’s objectives are (1) to preserve and disseminate Ellul’s literary and intellectual heritage, (2) to extend his penetrating social critique, especially concerning technology, and (3) to extend his theological and ethical research, with its special emphases on hope and freedom.
