Description
Jacques Ellul's Presence in the Modern World is a foundational work that explores the intersection of technology, society, and faith. First published in 1948, this book remains a relevant and thought-provoking analysis of our place in the world. Ellul argues that a Christian's unique presence can make a difference in the face of complex forces such as technology and the state. To respond to these challenges, Ellul advocates for a radical awareness of our present situation and a commitment to "a ferocious and passionate destruction of myths, intellectual idols, unconscious rejections of reality, and outmoded and empty doctrines." By undertaking this kind of revolution, we can become the medium for God's action in the modern world. This 2016 edition features a fresh translation, new footnotes, an introduction to Ellul's life, and a complete bibliography of his books in English and French.
