Jacques Ellul 
An Unjust God? [EPUB ebook] 
A Christian Theology of Israel in light of Romans 9–11

First-time Translation in English
– – –
The relationship between Christians and Jews has often been very tense, with misunderstandings of Paul’s teachings contributing to the problem. Jacques Ellul’s careful exegesis of Romans 9-11 demonstrates how God has not rejected Israel. The title is taken from the verse, ‘Is there some injustice in God?’ The answer is a clear ‘no.’ God’s election simply expanded outward beyond Israel to reach all peoples of the earth. In the end, there will be a reconciliation of Jews and Christians within God’s plan of salvation.
Written in 1991, three years before Ellul died, An Unjust God? brings a new understanding to a section of Scripture known for its conventional and limited interpretations. One significant feature of the book is Ellul’s personal experience of the suffering of Jews under the Nazi regime; and this has direct bearing for the way he links the sufferings of Israel with the sufferings of Jesus. Ellul is then bold enough to say that a major reason why the Jewish people have not accepted Jesus as Messiah is because the Christian Church has not done well to emulate the Jewish Savior of the world.
