Book Synopsis A New Reading of Jacques Ellul by : Jacob Marques Rollison
Download or read book A New Reading of Jacques Ellul written by Jacob Marques Rollison and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an original and dynamic reading of the twentieth-century French sociologist and theological ethicist Jacques Ellul. Adopting Ellul’s use of ‘presence’ as a hermeneutical key to understanding his work, it examines the origins of Ellul’s approach to presence in his readings of Kierkegaard and the biblical book of Ecclesiastes, highlights the central structural role of presence in Ellul’s theological ethics, and elucidates a crucial turning point in Ellul’s theology following a personal crisis in Ellul’s faith and life. Drawing from numerous unpublished and untranslated texts, Jacob Marques Rollison argues that this crisis involves confrontation with a critique of presence manifest in Ellul’s reading of and engagement with Michel Foucault. Marques Rollison distills Ellul’s sociological critiques and theological responses to this crisis, presenting Ellul’s evolving theology against the background of major shifts in French intellectual life. In doing so, the author simultaneously calls for renewed engagement with Ellul’s prophetic thought, critically appraises Ellul’s dialectical theology and Marxist inheritances, and develops a robustly Protestant approach to theological communication ethics for our time.
Download or read book To Will & To Do written by Jacques Ellul and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Will & To Do presents one of the most significant theological contributions of the dynamic twentieth-century thinker Jacques Ellul. Benefiting from recent scholarship on Ellul and a discovery of a lost manuscript, this new edition renders the full text available in English for the first time, combining a fresh translation of volume I with a first English translation of volume II. Together, the two volumes constitute the introductory first part of Ellul’s planned four-part treatment of Christian ethics. Volume I examines the origin of the problem of good and evil, outlines the contemporary morality of Western society, and provocatively sketches the paradox of an impossible and yet necessary Christian ethics. Volume II carries this discussion forward, outlining the characteristics and conditions of Christian ethics. It then treats the relationship between ethics and the legal texts of the Bible, the relationship between ethics and dogmatic theology, and concludes by reimagining the theological use of the “analogy of faith” for scriptural interpretation. In constant dialogue with Karl Barth, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Paul Ricoeur, and many other theologians and philosophers, To Will & To Do constitutes a major intervention in twentieth-century theological ethics.

This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Word of God in the Ethics of Jacques Ellul originated (1979) as one of the first PhD dissertations on the thought of French sociologist and theologian Jacques Ellul (1912–94), author of some sixty volumes on the nature and impact of modern technology and on Christian ethics. Ethicist David Gill studied with Ellul and devoted his own career to an exploration of how Jesus and Scripture can bring the Word of God to our contemporary world, especially to our work and technology. More recently Jacques Ellul and the Bible: Toward a Hermeneutic of Freedom, edited by Jacob Marques Rollison (Wipf & Stock, 2020), including an essay by David Gill, adds fresh insight to this critical topic.

Book Synopsis Presence in the Modern World by : Jacques Ellul
Download or read book Presence in the Modern World written by Jacques Ellul and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-06-08 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presence in the Modern World is Jacques Ellul's most foundational book, combining his social analysis with his theological orientation. Appearing first in French in 1948, it has reached the status of a classic that retains all of its relevance today in the face of the challenges that beset us. How should we respond toward such complex forces as technology or the state? How can we communicate with one another, despite the problems inherent in modern forms of media? Do we have hope for the future of our civilization? Ellul responds by describing how a Christian's unique presence in the world can make a difference. Instead of acting "as sociological beings," we must commit ourselves to the kind of revolution that will occur only when we become radically aware of our present situation and undertake "a ferocious and passionate destruction of myths, intellectual idols, unconscious rejections of reality, and outmoded and empty doctrines." In this way, says Ellul, we become the medium for God's action in the modern world. This 2016 edition presents a fresh translation along with new footnotes, an introduction to Ellul's life, and a complete bibliography of his books in English and French.

Book excerpt: This book explores the unique and substantial contribution to reflection on conversion and Christian unity by the Groupe des Dombes, a Reformed-Lutheran-Catholic dialogue in French-speaking Europe.

Book Synopsis Technique, Discourse, and Consciousness by : David Lovekin
Download or read book Technique, Discourse, and Consciousness written by David Lovekin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the French thinker Jacques Ellul (1912–1994) and his historical, biblical, and social analyses of how technology manipulates and impoverishes modern thought, culture, and language. In the spirit of Georg Hegel and Ernst Cassirer, Ellul explores how technology begins in myths, stories, and religion, advances to tools, and then develops into data, algorithms, and abstract systems which are detached from human bodies and communities. Efficiency then becomes an absolute in all areas of human life, and the mentality of technique becomes lost in its creations. These modern symbols, posing as ultimate human goods and values, are denigrated by technique, leaving humanity awash in clichés, in groundless social media, and in blathering slogans that sustain the illusion that politics and culture have now become.
Book Synopsis Ricœur at the Limits of Philosophy by : Barnabas Aspray
Download or read book Ricœur at the Limits of Philosophy written by Barnabas Aspray and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can finite humans grasp universal truth? Is it possible to think beyond the limits of reason? Are we doomed to failure because of our finitude? In this clear and accessible book, Barnabas Aspray presents Ricœur's response to these perennial philosophical questions through an analysis of human finitude at the intersection of philosophy and theology. Using unpublished and previously untranslated archival sources, he shows how Ricœur's groundbreaking concept of symbols leads to a view of creation, not as a theological doctrine, but as a mystery beyond the limits of thought that gives rise to philosophical insight. If finitude is created, then it can be distinguished from both the Creator and evil, leading to a view of human existence that, instead of the 'anguish of no' proclaims the 'joy of yes.'

Book Synopsis A Companion to Ricoeur's The Symbolism of Evil by : Scott Davidson
Download or read book A Companion to Ricoeur's The Symbolism of Evil written by Scott Davidson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-05-20 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Symbolism of Evil is the final book in Ricoeur’s early trilogy on the will. While Freedom and Nature sets aside normative questions altogether and Fallible Man examines the question of what makes the bad will possible, here Ricoeur takes up the question of evil in its actuality. What is the nature of the will that has succumbed to evil? The question of evil resists reflection and remains inscrutable, leading Ricoeur to proceed indirectly through a study of the abundant resources contained in symbols and myths. Symbols, as Ricoeur famously says, “give rise to thought” and thereby open up a field of meanings which help to inform a philosophical reflection on evil. This hermeneutics of symbols signals an important shift in Ricoeur’s philosophical trajectory, which increasingly turns to language and the various forms of discourse which harbor multiple meanings. The contributors to this volume, edited by Scott Davidson, highlight a wide range of important themes in Ricoeur’s treatment of the symbolics of evil that resonate with current topics in contemporary philosophy and religion.
Book Synopsis Theology and Technique by : Jacques Ellul
Download or read book Theology and Technique written by Jacques Ellul and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-21 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology and Technique is a posthumous, incomplete volume drafted in the 1970s that nevertheless constitutes a significant addition to the Ellul corpus. Working from Jacques Ellul’s original outline, a collaborative team including three of Ellul’s children, a grandson, and Ellul scholars has assembled previous partial publications that Ellul himself approved for eventual incorporation along with relevant unpublished essays and notes into a book which throws the relationship between Ellul’s radical theology and sociological critique into fresh perspective. Frédéric Rognon contributes an especially insightful general introduction. The translation by Christian Roy is a model of rendering the complexities of the French original into English. This latest Ellul publication will be essential to any serious attempt to appreciate the scope and depth of Ellul’s Christian engagement with the challenges of the contemporary world.

Book Synopsis Prophetic Witness and the Reimagining of the World by : Mark S. Burrows
Download or read book Prophetic Witness and the Reimagining of the World written by Mark S. Burrows and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the prophetic characteristics of literature, particularly poetry, that seek to reimagine the world in which it is written. Using theological and philosophical insights it charts the relentless impulse of literature to propose alternative visions, practicable or utopian, and point toward possibilities of renewal and change. Drawing from each of the three main Abrahamic religions, as well as Greek and Latin classics, an international group of scholars utilise a diverse range of analytical and interpretive methods to draw out the prophetic voice in poetry. Looking at the writings of figures like T. S. Elliot, Blake, Wittgenstein and Isaiah, the theme of the prophetic is shown to be of timely importance given the current state of geo-political challenges and uncertainties and offers a much-needed critical discussion of these broad cultural questions. This collection of essays offers readers an insight into the constructive power of literature. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars working in Religion and the Arts, Religious Studies, Theology and Aesthetics.

Book Synopsis Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the Work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio by : Michael Morelli
Download or read book Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the Work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio written by Michael Morelli and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology, Ethics, and Technology in the Work of Jacques Ellul and Paul Virilio examines biographical and textual connections between sociologist-theologian Jacques Ellul and philosopher-phenomenologist Paul Virilio. Through an examination of their embeddedness in the socio-historical context of postwar France, Michael Morelli identifies a relationship between these critics of technology that bears the marks of a nascent theological tradition. He shows from various vantage points how Ellul and Virilio’s nascent tradition exposes technology as modernity’s primary idol; and, how these thinkers use 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 this book will aid in this tradition’s ripening through the presentation of an illuminating way to read these two unique, prophetic intellectuals.
