Finally we have Ellul's own account of his relation to Barth as well as his understanding of Christian ethics as a prophetic vocation, to take two of the most exciting topics covered. Jacob Marques Rollison tells the remarkable story of how this volume resurfaced fifty years on, as well as why our understanding of Ellul will never be the same."""" --Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen """"Volume II of To Will & To Do in French had never been published by Jacques Ellul, and the manuscript has been recently discovered and published in 2018. The work of translation in English has been so fast and excellent. . . . This is a very important piece of the ethical thought of Jacques Ellul."""" --Frederic Rognon, University of Strasbourg """"Jake Marques Rollison's careful and fluid translation of these two volumes of Ellul's introduction to Christian ethics does an immense service to the French scholar's English-language readers, both new and old. The provision of such a splendid edition of this previously fractured, abridged, and neglected work will allow Ellul's singular vision of the nature and task of Christian ethics to be considered afresh. That Ellul's 'ethics of witness' is increasingly angular to leading trends in the field of theological ethics only heightens its provocation and makes it restatement in these new volumes all the more welcome."""" --Philip G.
