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

A penetrating analysis of our technical civilization and of the
effect of an increasingly standardized culture on the future of
man.
Indispensable to the Western observer for a full understanding of
the complexities of the conflicts in the Middle East, this study
analyzes and documents the historical, social, and spiritual
realities of the dhimmi peoples_ the non-Arab and non-Muslim
communities subjected to Muslim domination after the conquest of
their territories by Arabs.

Jacques Ellul, a former member of a Law Faculty at the University
of Bordeaux, was recognized as a brilliant and penetrating
commentator on the relationship between theology and sociology. In
the Meaning of the City he presents what he finds in the Bible--a
sophisticated, coherent theology of the city fully applicable to
today's urbanized society.
Pointing to the many contradictions between the Bible and the
practice of the church, Jacques Ellul asserts in this provocative
and stimulating book that what we today call Christianity is
actually far removed from the revelation of God.
'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.
