Theology and Technique

“The challenge of technique or technology is a central theme in Jacques Ellul’s theology. This volume is a necessary addition to the Ellul corpus for anyone who wishes a full appreciation of his thought.”

—Carl Mitcham, author of Theology and Technology

“The keystone of Jacques Ellul’s whole work, this posthumous edition of Theology and Technique gives us the genuine meaning of the dialectics between his sociology and his theology. It shows the way of an ethic of Non-Power to understand how to live as Christians in the technological society today. Very stimulating!”

—Frédéric Rognon, professor of philosophy, University of Strasbourg

“This remarkable text helps us piece together Jacques Ellul’s life project of thinking theologically about the social and historical reality he called Technique. I commend Christian Roy’s careful translation of the 2014 French edition, which includes Frédéric Rognon’s masterful introduction summarizing Ellul’s enduring contribution. This is essential reading for anyone wanting to think theologically about technology today, informed by the voice of Jacques Ellul.”

—Matthew Prior, tutor and lecturer in ethics, St. Mellitus College
