It has been said "the future is now." From cell phones to mp3 players to the Internet, no previous age has seen such profound change manifested so quickly. But these thrilling, dizzying transformations are forcing the church to decide where it fits in all this progress.

This book reveals the subtle secrets of electronic culture and the hidden ways it is shaping the church. Looking beyond the details of what's happening in communities of faith, the author analyzes the broader impact of technology and media on the church while engaging readers with questions such as:
  • Are media and technology value neutral?
  • How do our technologies change the way we think about Scripture, community, and worship?
  • What cultural opportunities has the church missed?
  • How should the church position itself to take advantage of coming cultural trends?
Providing both history and prophecy, this book invites us to engage new cultural realities while staying connected to our spiritual heritage.
