Jesus taught, healed, and wandered in the Wilderness. But he died in the City. Jacques Ellul lived a double life. On one hand, he was an astute observer and critic of the modern technological society and its penchant for efficiency and productivity. On the other, he was a prophet, deeply concerned about spiritual realities. Jesus and the City brings together the two forces that dominated his writing: technique and theology. Linking four of Ellul's seminal sociological and theological works-The Technological Society, The Meaning of the City, The Technological System, and Apocalypse-Jesus and the City brings to light the meaning of our shared technological and spiritual history: from Cain's rebellion and the birth of the City to the New Jerusalem and the reign of Christ.
