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.
Anti-Christ groups are in action. Drug dealers are in action. Enemies of the Church are in action. Rev. Michael Morelli is not ashamed to be a voice calling the Church to rise to action. This book will convince Christians that we cannot shrink from our opportunities for action, because we are forever accountable for what we do and for what we fail to do. Whether you are a pastor seeking to inspire your congregation to be more active or a member of a congregation in need of encouragement, this book will prove to be a valuable resource to you.
