Ce Dieu injuste-- ?
Book Description
In this profound theological exploration, Jacques Ellul tackles one of Christianity's most challenging questions: has God abandoned the Jewish people? Drawing from his careful study of Romans chapters 9 through 11, Ellul presents a compelling argument that divine justice remains intact despite centuries of misunderstanding.
The author confronts the troubling history between Christians and Jews, revealing how misinterpretations of Paul's writings have fueled religious tension and persecution. Through meticulous biblical analysis, Ellul demonstrates that God's covenant with Israel remains unbroken. Rather than replacement, he argues for expansion—divine election extending beyond Israel to embrace all humanity while maintaining the original promise.
What makes this work particularly powerful is Ellul's personal witness to Jewish suffering under Nazi persecution, lending urgent authenticity to his theological insights. He draws striking parallels between Israel's historical anguish and the sufferings of Jesus, creating a bridge of understanding between two faith traditions.
Ellul offers a bold perspective on why many Jewish people have not embraced Jesus as Messiah, suggesting that Christian failure to embody their Jewish Savior's teachings bears significant responsibility. Written near the end of his life, this concise yet weighty book challenges conventional interpretations and points toward ultimate reconciliation within God's salvation plan.
For readers seeking deeper understanding of interfaith relations and divine justice, Ellul provides fresh insight into ancient questions that continue shaping our spiritual landscape.
