Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the Work of Jacques Ellul and - A Nascent Theological Tradition

This book examines connections between sociologist-theologian Jacques Ellul and philosopher-phenomenologist Paul Virilio. As it explores the postwar France context and compares their works on technology, it identifies the components of a nascent theological tradition that exposes, and attempts to dismantle, modernity's primary idol: technology.
