The Internet as a Shaping Force

The book 'Digital Liturgies' by Samuel D. James explores how the internet shapes our souls and influences the way we think, feel, communicate, and live. It argues that the internet is a liturgical environment that preaches certain values and beliefs to us, shaping us in ways we may not expect. The author emphasizes the importance of considering not just the content but also the medium itself, as different social platforms have their own ethos that shapes people in distinct ways. The book raises the question of how Christians can live wisely in the midst of this internet age.
