"Spirituality and Religion in the Digital Era"
Just as the founders of our modern-day religions emerged in human history when writing became ubiquitous ... just as the invention of the printing press with movable type was a catalyst for the explosion of denominational religion ... so too, electronic media are engines of spiritual and religious transformation that include and transcend what came before.
What will religious communities look like in a digital era characterized by embedded computing, genetic engineering, and trans-planetary life? How will the "competitive religious marketplace" reflect these changes? How will images of God change, and what new possibilities will they disclose?
