The Ellul Forum
About the Ellul Forum
Welcome to the Ellul Forum, a twice-yearly journal published by the International Jacques Ellul Society.
Members of the Society receive each issue as it is published (choice of print + PDF, or PDF only). For non-members, issues in PDF are uploaded to this website after a delay of several years.
The Forum encourages submissions from scholars, students, and general readers. Submissions must demonstrate a degree of familiarity with Ellul’s thought and must engage with it in a critical way. Please write charitably, for a readership of intelligent non-specialists. Articles are typically 5,000 to 6,000 words, not counting any footnotes. Book reviews are considerably shorter.
Submissions may be sent to ijes@ellul.org.
