Christian Moral Theology in the Emerging Technoculture cover

We are living in an emerging technoculture. Machines and gadgets not only weave the fabric of daily life, but more importantly embody philosophical and religious values which shape the contemporary moral vision-a vision that is often at odds with Christian convictions. This book critically examines those values, and offers a framework for how Christian moral theology should be formed and lived-out within the emerging technoculture. Brent Waters argues that technology represents the principal cultural background against which contemporary Christian moral life is formed. Addressing contemporary ethical and religious issues, this book will be of particular interest to students and scholars exploring the ideas of Heidegger, Nietzsche, Grant, Arendt, and Borgmann.

'Waters offers powerful insights into the way the concreteness of the Christian tradition and worship can orient us amidst the dynamism of technoculture by offering us experiences that sharpen our powers of moral discernment.' Marginalia Review of Books 'The author writes meticulously, with fervour. His pages on hope are among the most illuminating passages of this book.' Theological Book Review ’...[A] rich and carefully argued study...’ Theology 'A thoughtful and nuanced contribution to the Ashgate Science and Religion Series.' Journal of Theological Studies
