Ellul makes a distinction between the true faith and
an institutionalized, world-encrusted religion.

..condemns the Churchianity religion as a faith subverted
by the world. ..

Theologians readily begin with the biblical witness or
revelation but then quickly leave it behind.
In a desire to reach the truth, they develop moral codes,
philosophical systems, and metaphysical constructs.

Although they have good intentions, their result destroys
the love and grace of the gospel.

Jacques Ellul is very careful about the charges that he
makes against Christianity. His arguments are subtle,
and Ellul is quick to acknowledge the hyperbole of those
who criticize the faith from the outside.
Nonetheless, he often finds a kernel of truth at the root
of those criticisms.
