Am I a pessimist? Not at all. I am convinced that the history of the human race, no matter how tragic, will ultimately lead to the Kingdom of God. I am convinced that all the works of humankind will be reintegrated in the work of God, and that each of us, no matter how sinful, will ultimately be saved.
Jacques EllulBelief is reassuring. People who live in the world of belief feel safe. On the contrary, faith is forever placing us on the razor's edge.
