Abstract
Ellul's goal is to convince the reader that anarchism is a true path of Christianity. To him, anarchism, although defined as "an absolute rejection of violence" (p. 11) is much more than that: it includes total abstention from the political side of life, including non-participation in elections, conscientious objection to military service, "to taxes, to vaccination, to compulsory schooling, etc." (p. 15)...i.e., to everything that is imposed by the state. "We should lodge objection to everything...We must distrust all [the state's] offerings" (p. 16).
