Technology & Spirituality: How the Information Revolution Affects Our Spiritual Lives

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Every day, new technologies affect our lives at home, work, and play. But how often do we pause to consider how technology influences our spiritual lives?our beliefs, our faith, our fundamental understanding of God? With wit and verve, Spyker leads readers on a lively journey through the many ways technology impacts both our thinking about faith and the way we practice it. He explores the role of new spiritual communities (Can online ?churches? replace traditional houses of worship?), ?personal? relationships we have with our gadgets (Will my iPod give me peace of mind?), our changing expectations (Is technological convenience undermining our ability for commitment?). Spyker gets us to think about the many, often subtle, ways technology has seeped into every aspect of lives and changed the way we ?do? faith. Readers will be entertained, challenged, and above all encouraged to take a fresh look at the world about them, asking, ?Is all this technology helping my spiritual growth?"
