Klappentext

This pioneering volume explores complex local, global and digital contexts from the perspectives of Digital Theology.

The use of and access to digital technology is highly contextual. It differs between regions, generations, classes, religious denominations, and gender. Which problems theologians claim to be important and which developments they ignore is contingent on their cultural, social, economic, religious, ecclesial, geographic, technological, and institutional contexts.

The scholars in this volume delve into these complexities. First, the book explores the contextuality of Digital Theology itself and how theology has been bound by a primarily Western context. It then goes on to examine how this interacts with other national, social and theological milieus. Finally, these trailblazing academics highlight how Digital Theology can transcend the arbitrary barriers and divisions between contexts.

This makes postcolonial studies, contextual and liberation theologies highly relevant for Digital Theology and technological contexts. Therefore, this book not only advances digital theology, but all its interdisciplinary connections too.

This is important reading for any student wishing to stay on the cutting edge of theological discourse.
