Category: Theology and Technology

Theology and Technology examines how emerging technologies reshape belief, practice, and moral life through the lens of Christian theology. This category engages artificial intelligence, transhumanism, digital culture, and technological power by bringing Scripture, doctrine, and theological ethics into conversation with contemporary innovation. The essays here evaluate technology not as a neutral force but as a formative presence that influences worship, identity, authority, and human limits. Grounded in the doctrine of the imago Dei and the biblical critique of idolatry, this work offers theological discernment for faithful engagement with technology in ecclesial, academic, and public contexts.
