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

I enjoyed this book. It clearly demonstrates the powerful impact the “social internet” is having on our thinking. It seems no one is truly immune. I laughed that I was taking in “Digital Liturgies” on digital devices. It kind of proved Samuel James point.

A short but thoughtful review of the influence of the internet on how we interact, think and worship. It’s an easy book to read out listen to, but raises lots of challenges about how Christians should think about our web use. Super helpful for our present day, for us as individuals and as parents thinking about how we help our families and our youth in this area.
