(2013) Jacques Ellul and the technological society in the 21st century, Dordrecht, Springer.
Jacques Ellul in The New Demons proposes that one of the three "phenomenal mistakes' of all Christian history is misunderstanding the modern world as secularized (Ellul 1975: 213). Whilst this may be characteristic overstatement, Ellul is correct in seeing the danger of an entirely opposite appraisal of the social situation. Postmodernity, I will argue, is one such phenomenal mistake.
