In Dialectical Theology and Jacques Ellul, Jacob E. Van Vleet
argues that the work of Jacques Ellul is frequently - and
deleteriously - misread on account of inattention to the
theological underpinning that governs Ellul's thought. In a
penetrating analysis, the first of its kind, Van Vleet provides a
substantive account of the theological structure of Ellul's work
and demonstrates the determinative role that theology, especially
dialectical theology, plays in a proper understanding of Ellul. Van
Vleet offers a major introduction to Ellul's thought, his
contribution to theology and philosophy, and how his philosophy of
technology is both theologically informed and culturally relevant.
As well, this work situates Ellul's theological and philosophical
thought within an important genetic context, from Kierkegaard to
the dialectical theologians of the twentieth century.
