@jamespoulos Ellul, Ong and McLuhan, fundamentally Christian media ecologists all, would suggest our reconciliation with truth an eschatological matter.
@HaddenTurner Escaping the Pseudo-Event? We turn toward a reality wholly penetrated by Truth Alive; the native, immediate, unmediated neighborly. S. Zohar: “The messianic world will be a world without images in which no more comparison will be possible between an image and what it represents."
![This distinction being made, Ellul does not think that all answers to the question are equally legitimate. He believes that the one Truth worthy of the title is the God who created the world, led the Israelites out of Egypt, became incarnate in Jesus Christ, and will bring the world to its final consummation. Before the Fall, according to Ellul, Truth wholly penetrated reality; after the Fall, we think we can arrogate reality to ourselves, but are cruelly deceived. Between the Fall and the final consummation, only in the incarnation of Jesus Christ has truth completely penetrated reality (Ellul 1981: 89–92, 280 [ET Ellul 1985c: 79–82, 253]).
