About this ebook
Jacob E.
Van Vleet argues that the work of Jacques Ellul is frequently misread on
account of inattention to the theological underpinning that governs Ellul’s
thought. In a penetrating analysis, the first of its kind, Van Vleet provides a
substantive account of the theological structure of Ellul’s work and demonstrates
the determinative role that theology plays in a proper understanding of Ellul.
The book offers a major introduction to Ellul’s thought, his contribution to
theology and philosophy, and how his philosophy of technology is both
theologically informed and culturally relevant.
