Many of our neighbors have succumbed to what the French philosopher Jacques Ellul called “the political illusion.” What is it, and what can we do to resist it?

Here are a couple of resources mentioned on today’s episode:

  • Ellul explained the “political illusion” in his 1965 book L’illusion politique. It was published in English in 1967.

  • According to a recent Gallup survey, a majority of Americans now believe abortion should be legal in all or most circumstances. That finding represents a significant shift in attitude in just the past few years.
