English and French Bibliographic MaterialsJacques Ellul: An Annotated Bibliography of Primary Works, by Joyce Main Hanks. Research in Philosophy and Technology. Supplement 5. This is the essential guide for anyone doing research in Ellul’s writings. An excellent brief biography is followed by a 140-page annotated bibliography of Ellul’s fifty books and thousand-plus articles and a thirty-page subject index. Joyce Hanks’s work is comprehensive, accurate, and invariably helpful. This may be one of the more expensive books you buy for your library; it will surely be one of the most valuable.
