About Technology and the Church

In this thought-provoking four-lesson mini-course, join Dr. John Dyer, Vice President for Enrollment Services and Educational Technologies at DTS and Assistant Professor of Theological Studies, as he delves into the complex relationship between technology and our Christian lives. It's a common misconception that technology is limited to digital innovations alone. Any tool designed to expand human capabilities can be considered technology.

From humble tools like pencils, shovels, and bicycles to groundbreaking inventions such as bulldozers, rocket ships, and even generative artificial intelligence—technology's influence on our lives is vast and far-reaching.

But what does it mean for us as Christians in this technologically advanced world? Are the advancements good or bad? Or perhaps, are the tools themselves inherently neutral? In this enlightening and free course, Dr. Dyer invites you to explore these questions and more.

In this captivating free course, Dr. Dyer takes a fresh look at technology and its intersection with faith. Through his engaging messages, you will cover the impact of technology on various aspects of your life—from artificial intelligence and architecture to social media and beyond. Each session is designed to challenge your thinking and deepen your understanding of how technology shapes our experiences as believers.
