Description
French sociologist and lay theologian Jacques Ellul (1912-94) was one of the most penetrating and provocative Christian thinkers of the 20th century. Today, Ellul's original and penetrating critique of technique and the technological society seem more urgent and incisive than ever. His works on biblical studies and Christian ethics, in their turn, continue to be the subject of increasing study and in-the-trenches application. This course explores both aspects of Ellul's work, examining their relevance for our thought and practice today.
