Desert, Wilderness, Wasteland, and Word

Desert, Wilderness, Wasteland and Word examines the significance of the desert from biblical, theological, and ethical perspectives. This is achieved primarily through the publication of Jacques Ellul¿s recently discovered, newly translated essay, which considers the theology of the desert. Prefaced by an enlightening introduction, and five incendiary essays which critically reflect on Ellul's work, this volume offers a fresh, provocative insight into Jacques Ellul¿s writing.
Illuminating the relevance of Ellul¿s work for our present, Desert, Wilderness, Wasteland and Word offers readers an encounter with a new, revitalising biblical word.
