About this book

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.

InĀ  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.Ā 

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 readers to live faithfully before Christ, finding wisdom through Scripture and rest in God's perfect design.Ā 

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