"Including work by established scholars, fresh voices, and newly
translated materials, this outstanding collection of essays
showcases the renaissance that is currently underway in Ellul
studies. By focusing on Ellul's rich engagements with and
reflections on Scripture, the contributors convey the highly
innovative and expansive nature of his theological thinking. I
highly recommend this book for all those interested in the
relationship between Scripture and Christian ethics."
--Michael Mawson, Senior Lecturer in Systematic Theology and
Ethics, Charles Sturt University
"This is a timely resource on an important topic for both Ellul
studies and anyone interested in Christianity and the Bible. Ellul
is an often overlooked theologian but is increasingly important
today for his analysis of and response to contemporary
technological culture. In order to understand this prophetic
response, one must consult Ellul's use and reading of the Bible.
Marques Rollison et al. have provided an indispensable guide for
all of us."
--Michael Burdett, Assistant Professor of Christian Theology,
University of Nottingham
"Jacob Marques Rollison has curated a collection of essays that
exhibits that rare combination of freedom and intentionality
present in Jacques Ellul's commentaries. The engagements and
interventions here reflect Ellul's own lived approach to
Scripture--not least waiting until his twilight years to write his
Ecclesiastes commentary in hopes that it would aid his existential
connection with Qohelet! I pray this exquisite entr�e will inspire
others to unsettle convention as they interpret in freedom."
--Tyler Atkinson, Associate Professor of Religion, Bethany College,
Lindsborg, Kansas
