Ellul Jacques. What I Believe

William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1989. — 114 p."For me the difference between what I do not believe and what I do believe has a very different origin. What I do not believe is very clear and precise. What I do believe is is complex, diffuse-I might almost say unconscious-and theoretical. It involves myself, whereas what I do not believe can be at a distance. I can regard it as exterior and therefore relatively well defined. It can be the object of a taxonomy. What I believe finds me totally implicated personally. I can speak about it only as I do about myself. I do not believe in an object but in a network of relations which I cannot really expound because exposition demands a didactic procedure, the dividing up of realities that belong to one another."
