Samuel D. JamesDigital Liturgies: Rediscovering Christian Wisdom in an Online Age
“How the Habitat of Internet Technology Undermines Christian Wisdom
With advancements in internet technology, people can get instant answers to just about any of their questions, connect long distance with family and friends, and stay informed with events around the world in real time.
In Digital Liturgies, tech-realist Samuel D. James examines the connection between patterns in technology and human desires. Everyone longs for a glimpse of heaven; James argues they are just looking for it in the wrong place―the internet.
This accessible book exposes 5 “digital liturgies” that prohibit people from contemplating big truths, accepting the uncomfortable, and acknowledging God as their Creator. It then calls readers to live faithfully before Christ, finding wisdom through Scripture and rest in God’s perfect design.

“I love this book. It is very well written, covering a lot of ground without being heady. While not being the most practice (there’s not list of to-dos) nor is it the most comprehensive on a Christian view of technology (it focuses on the harms), it is perhaps the most necessary book for Christians to read in our age. You are being formed by the liturgies of the internet. Are you aware of them? Read this book to help you. ” - Andrew
