This book presents an original and dynamic reading of the
twentieth-century French sociologist and theological ethicist
Jacques Ellul. Adopting Ellul's use of 'presence' as a
hermeneutical key to understanding his work, it examines the
origins of Ellul's approach to presence in his readings of
Kierkegaard and the biblical book of Ecclesiastes, highlights the
central structural role of presence in Ellul's theological ethics,
and elucidates a crucial turning point in Ellul's theology
following a personal crisis in Ellul's faith and life. Drawing from
numerous unpublished and untranslated texts, Jacob Marques Rollison
argues that this crisis involves confrontation with a critique of
presence manifest in Ellul's reading of and engagement with Michel
Foucault. Marques Rollison distills Ellul's sociological critiques
and theological responses to this crisis, presenting Ellul's
evolving theology against the background of major shifts in French
intellectual life. In doing so, the author simultaneously calls for
renewed engagement with Ellul's prophetic thought, critically
appraises Ellul's dialectical theology and Marxist inheritances,
and develops a robustly Protestant approach to theological
communication ethics for our time.
