Discription:
Digital technology has become a ubiquitous feature of modern life. Our increasingly fast-paced
world seems more and more remote from the world narrated in Scripture. But despite its
pervasiveness, there remains a dearth of theological reflection about computer technology and
what it means to live as a faithful Christian in a digitally-saturated society.In this thoughtful and
timely book, Derek Schuurman provides a brief theology of technology, rooted in the Reformed
tradition and oriented around the grand themes of creation, fall, redemption and new creation. He
combines a concise, accessible style with penetrating cultural and theological analysis. Building on
the work of Jacques Ellul, Marshall McLuhan and Neil Postman, and drawing from a wide range of
Reformed thinkers, Schuurman situates computer technology within the big picture of the biblical
story. Technology is not neutral, but neither is there an exclusively Christian form of technological
production and use. Instead, Schuurman guides us to see the digital world as part of God?s good
creation, fallen yet redeemable according to the law of God. Responsibly used, technology can
become an integral part of God?s shalom for the earth.
