TRS 339 Technology and Theology
This course will examine the effects of technological innovation on society from a theological perspective. It will analyze different accounts of technology, as either a collection of mere instruments or a distinctly modern worldview, look at historical ties between the rise of contemporary technologies and Christianity, and investigate how new technologies relate to Christian understandings of what it means to be human. Using this foundation, the course will evaluate ethical concerns surrounding individual technologies and consider religious responses to problems generated by new technologies.
