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.
