"What is interesting and unusual is the way Ellul's influence has cut across various traditional denominational lines, age groups, and theological orientations. When this theological diffusion of influence is added to the sociological impact on such varied fields as political science, sociology, law, communications, and history, the result is impressive indeed. Few intellectuals have had such a broad-ranging importance in twentieth-century America.... Ellul's work is an explosive challenge that is ignored only at great loss. Americans need to give a continued and expanded hearing to the Bordeaux prophet in our technological wilderness."
-David W. Gill, from the Introduction
In Season, Out of Season offers the general reader a comprehensive, accessible introduction, in interview format, to the life and thought of contemporary theologian and social critic Jacques Ellul. Here is a lively, candid discussion of his early life; the influence of Kierkegaard, Marx, and Barth; his career at the University of Bordeaux; his frustrations working for reforms from within the religious and political establishment, and his frank assessment of his own impact.
In Season, Out of Season also offers solid interpretation of central themes in his thinking: technology and the nation-state as a threat to humanity, the worldly church, the revo-lutionary character of the Christian Gospel, the permanent tension between the life of the church and the life of the world, and the "Wholly Other" character of God's presence in the world.
Ellul's analysis of modern technology and politics, and his theological insights, have influenced such thinkers as Herbert Marcuse, Marshall McLuhan, E. F. Schumacher, John Kenneth Galbraith, Martin E. Marty, John Howard Yoder, and many others. In Season, Out of Season distills Ellul's voluminous investigations over nearly half a century, interweaving personal reminiscences that constitute an "autobiography in miniature." The result is a book that will be welcomed by those unfamiliar with - as well as those who know - Ellul's contributions.
