About this listen

How the Habitat of Internet Technology Undermines Christian Wisdom

With advancements in internet technology, people can get instant answers to just about any of their questions, connect long distance with family and friends, and stay informed with events around the world in real time.

In Digital Liturgies, tech-realist Samuel D. James examines the connection between patterns in technology and human desires. Everyone longs for a glimpse of heaven; James argues they are just looking for it in the wrong place—the internet.

This accessible book exposes 5 “digital liturgies” that prohibit people from contemplating big truths, accepting the uncomfortable, and acknowledging God as their Creator. It then calls listeners to live faithfully before Christ, finding wisdom through Scripture and rest in God’s perfect design.

  • A Biblical View of the Internet and Technology: Listeners explore the connection between human desire, the internet, and wisdom through a Christian lens
  • Great for College Students, Parents, and Pastors: This book encourages listeners to live faithfully for Christ
  • Offers a Tech-Realist Perspective: Samuel D. James highlights the inherent dangers of digital technologies, offering wisdom for navigating our internet-saturated world

Excellent analysis of our digital age

Goes far beyond the typical “the internet is not bad in itself, but the content often corrupts” to a much deeper analysis of the very nature of the web and how it is deeply affecting us.

Essential topic for our modern age

Essential topic that all people must wrestle with to live well in our modern world. I appreciate it, the incorporation of social sciences and theological reflection and practical application.
