This is a landmark publication. This would be true if only for the vast improvement on a fifty-year-old translation and new scholarly apparatus. But the real buzz is that this first volume will be followed by a previously unavailable second volume of the work that Ellul himself understood as his theological masterwork. Jake Rollison masterfully explains why this book offers Christians today a wholly new, and genuinely exciting, Jacques Ellul. --Brian Brock, University of Aberdeen Jake Marque 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. Ziegler, University of Aberdeen
