Missio Dei in a Digital Age Summary

Missio Dei in a Digital Age by Jonas Kurlberg

We are witnessing an unprecedented technological revolution. Every sphere of life from communications, work, economy, leisure, our homes, and health care is being digitised. These far-reaching changes demand careful consideration and discernment by churches participating in God's redemptive work around the world. Digitalization of society is radically changing both the methods and conditions of missions. For the first time, this book explores the implications of digitality for Missio Dei in thought and practice. Bringing together theologians, missiologists, computer scientists and practitioners, the book considers a diverse range of topics from evangelism to pastoral care, cyber pilgrimages to biases in algorithms, public theology to homiletics and inculturation to contextualization.

Missio Dei in a Digital Age Reviews

"The book represents an important reference point for all those who want to understand what it means to live the Christian faith in today's world. The Church is called to be where men and women live. And today they live a life that is intertwined between the physical and digital environment. The challenge then is what it means to live the faith in the time of the net. The book deals with essential and urgent issues and does so competently because it is the result of reflection based on the direct experience of the authors. For this reason, I strongly recommend it" -- Fr. Antonio Spadaro SJ
