Montre que dans un monde actuel lai͏̈cisé, sécularisé, rationnel, scientifique et technicien, la part du religieux et du sacré, à un niveau collectif comme à un niveau individuel, reste importante, avec des phénomènes qui ne sont pas des survivances du passé mais des créations nouvelles et vivaces, liées aux structures et à l'esprit de la société.
Jacques Ellul was a French philosopher, law professor, sociologist, lay theologian, and Christian anarchist. He wrote several books about the "technological society" and the intersection between Christianity and politics, such as Anarchy and Christianity (1991)--arguing that anarchism and Christianity are socially following the same goal.
A philosopher who approached technology from a deterministic viewpoint, Ellul, professor at the University of Bordeaux, authored 58 books and more than a thousand articles over his lifetime, the dominant theme of which has been the threat to human freedom and Christian faith created by modern technology.
