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
Two, 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

Jacque Ellul blends politics, theology, history, and exposition in
this analysis of the relationship between political anarchy and
biblical faith. While he clarifies the views of each and how they
can be related, his aim is not to proselytize either anarchists
into Christianity or Christians into anarchy.
'The theme of Propaganda is quite simply. . . that when our new
technology encompasses any culture or society, the result is
propaganda. . . . Ellul has made many splendid contributions in
this book.' -Robert R. Kirsch, The Los Angeles Times

Well-known for his many books on sociology and theology, Jacques Ellul creatively braids these two strands together in this provocative examination of how reality (which is visual) has superseded truth (which is verbal) in modern times.
Ellul explores biblical texts for distinguishing visual cultural forms from the communicative (divine and human) Word, then examines how this distinction plays out with the rise of audiovisual media in the 20th-century West. Even in human speech, visual forms dominate contemporary life and devalue the word; this insight informs discussion of the image/word clash in religion, politics, and art. After a scathing critique of present-day idolatry, Ellul places his hope for nonviolent community in the fragile spoken word. Ultimately, Ellul sees the Bible as presenting a hopeful vision of reconciliation—between visual reality and spoken truth.
A new afterword by Jacob Marques Rollison contextualizes Ellul’s stance within French postmodern thought, illuminating Humiliation of the Word as an outspokenly “Protestant communication ethic” in contemporary philosophical and theological discussions of language.
