S1E8 - Is Technology Diabolical??

from Device & Virtue Hosted by Chris Ridgeway & Adam Graber

So Chris found an article from 1962 called “Is Technology Diabolical?” What do you think Adam said . . . German theologian Helmut Thielicke posed this question more than 50 years ago, and it’s more relevant than ever. Chris and Adam unpack Thielicke's article and the most challenging questions it poses. Questions like, “If humanity wasn't sinful, would we need technology?” And, “Can humans avoid moral responsibility by blaming technology?” Chris and Adam find themselves wondering, What does technology look like in the Kingdom of God? Like Thielicke's article, questions will surprise you at every turn, not least of which is, “How do you pronounce ‘Thielicke’?” LINKS Read it yourself: Is Technology Diabolical?
