Description
Increasingly Christian theologians and cultural critics have observed and documented the many ways in which modern technologies have had and continue to have deleterious effects on interpersonal relationships, mental health and Christian community and sanctification more broadly. Fewer accounts have diagnosed the ways our technological engagement tends to reorient and erode other features of creaturely life. Particularly, modern technology diminishes our sense of human contingency and finitude, especially as they concern our dependence upon and embeddedness within the natural world. This claim has profound implications for spiritual formation and cultural life, including proper respect for creation and creaturehood.
