This is why I appreciate Jacques Ellul:
"On the one hand, he was unveiling a dark vision of technological totalitarianism that pulls every facet of Western culture (and every person) into its vortex; on the other hand, he was presenting a theological vision where human freedom and responsibility could lead to a hopeful future."
Ted Lewis, "Foreword," to Jacques Ellul et al., Presence in the Modern World: A New Translation (Eugene, Oregon: Cascade Books, 2016).
