This book examines biographical and textual connections between
sociologist-theologian Jacques Ellul and
philosopher-phenomenologist Paul Virilio. Through an examination of
Ellul and Virilio's embeddedness in the socio-historical context of
postwar France, the book identifies a relationship between these
critics of technology which constitutes a nascent theological
tradition. The author shows from various vantage points how Ellul
and Virilio's nascent tradition exposes technology as modernity's
primary idol; and, how it uses multiple disciplines-including
history, sociology, philosophy, phenomenology, theology, and
ethics-to resist the perilous consequences of the modern world's
worship of power and the kinds of technologies this misdirected
worship produces. Jacques Ellul's death in 1994 and Paul Virilio's
death in 2018 may have prevented the maturation of this nascent
theological tradition, but Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the
work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio aids this tradition's
ripening through the presentation of an illuminating way to read
these two unique, and at times quixotic, intellectuals.
