Carl Mitcham

Faith, Hope, and Love in the Technological Society

Theology

“This extended reflection on the life (or lack) of the distinctively Christian virtues in the technoscientific dispensation can be read as a meditative challenge. The theological framework is Lutheran, but it draws as well on complementary traditions found in Jacques Ellul and Ivan Illich. Would that the churches might move such otherwise marginal questions into the center of ecclesiastical concern.”

From Babel to AI

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“From Babel to AI is a thoughtful, insightful, and timely synthesis of Christian theology relevant to the threats and temptations of AI. Its imaginative case studies should be especially useful for self-study and teaching.”

Political Illusion and Reality

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Political Illusion & Reality is a stunning collection of essays by a remarkable community of scholars influenced by Jacques Ellul. I was taken aback by its range and insightfulness, and its testimony to the continuing vitality of Ellul. I commend it to anyone who doubts the relevance of Ellul's sociological, philosophical, and theological analyses of the technological way of life within which we are all now increasingly enmeshed.”

Sources and Trajectories

“This book documenting the first springs of Jacques Ellul's thought in both sociology and theology is an exciting addition to the Ellul corpus in English.”

Theology and Technique

Theology

“The challenge of technique or technology is a central theme in Jacques Ellul’s theology. This volume is a necessary addition to the Ellul corpus for anyone who wishes a full appreciation of his thought.”
