Today we have Dr. David Gill!
Technologies have emerged from a cultural and societal drive to create tools, to create “techniques” that provide efficiency and results. The result? Technologies that proliferate with or without you. Does this sound like the writings of a modern academic? Wrong! These sentences come from the thought and work of a man who lived during World War II… a man named Jacques Ellul.
So…today we have the world’s leading scholar on Jacques Ellul: Dr. David Gill!
Dr. Gill is a writer and teacher specializing in Christian ethics. He retired from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Boston MA where he served (2010-16) as Mockler-Phillips Professor of Workplace Theology & Business Ethics and Director of the Mockler Center for Faith & Ethics. Prior to that he served six years as Professor of Business Ethics on the MBA faculty of St. Mary’s College of California (2004-10), nine years as Carl I. Lindberg Professor of Applied Ethics at North Park University in Chicago (1992-2001), and fourteen years as founder, Professor of Christian Ethics, and Dean or President at New College Berkeley, an interdenominational graduate school of theology for lay men and women (1976-90).
He is best known as a pioneer in the “faith at work” movement and as a scholar for his work on the thought of the French sociologist and ethicist Jacques Ellul. He is also the founding President of the International Jacques Ellul Society.
