In To Will and To Do, twentieth-century French thinker Jacques
Ellul presented his landmark theological contribution, yet the full
text has never before been available in English. Incorporating
recent insights on Ellul, and benefitting from the discovery of a
lost manuscript, this new publication remedies this, combining a
fresh translation of Volume One with a first English translation of
Volume Two. Together, the two volumes constitute the first part of
Ellul's planned four-part treatment of Christian ethics. In Volume
One, Ellul examines the origin of the problem of Good and Evil,
surveys the contemporary morality of Western society, and
provocatively sketches the paradox of an impossible and yet
necessary Christian ethics. In Volume Two, he carries this
discussion forward, outlining the characteristics and conditions of
Christian ethics, and analysing the relationship between ethics,
the legal texts of the Bible, and dogmatic theology. He concludes
by reimagining the theological use of the 'analogy of faith' for
scriptural interpretation. Throughout, Ellul remains in dialogue
with Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Paul Ricoeur and others,
helping to cement To Will and To Do as a major intervention in
twentieth-century theological ethics. Â
