Summary:

What Does God Think about Technology?

From smartphones to self-driving cars to spacetravel, new technologies can inspire us. But the breakneck pace of change can also frighten us. So how do Christians walk by faith through the innovations of Silicon Valley? And how does God relate to our most powerful innovators?

To build a biblical theology of technology, journalist and tech optimist Tony Reinke examines nine key texts from Scripture to show how the world's discoveries are divinely orchestrated. Ultimately, what we believe about God determines how we respond to human invention. With the help of several theologians and inventors throughout history, Reinke dispels twelve common myths in the church and offers fourteen ethical convictions to help Christians live by faith in the age of big tech.

A few years ago, Wendy Syfret had a cool job, a nice partner and a stylish apartmentall trappings of a meaningful life that signalled she was doing it right (while also inducing a little Instagram envy). But she was living in a constant state of anxiety, waking nightly at 3 a.m. to answer emails for what was in reality an entry-level media job. One day she nearly collapsed under a wave of panic about the inescapable pressure cooker that was her never-ending pursuit of achievement. Then she had an epiphany: none of it mattered and one day shed be dead. Suddenly she could breathe again, for what felt like the first time in ages. She had discovered what shes come to think of as sunny nihilism.

Sweet Nothing explores how accepting that your life has no meaning in the grand scheme of the universe is actually incredibly freeing. In fact, it is already a prevalent belief in our culture, particularly among millennials and Gen Zs. Readers will gain an accessible entry into sunny nihilism and an understanding of nihilisms history and pitfalls. And they will learn to focus on the freedom to celebrate the immediate, appreciate the beautiful chaos of life, and invest energy into things that will make the world a better placebecause literally nothing else matters. In an era defined by collective burnout, economic downturns, performative excellence, housing crises, plans waylaid by pandemics, and maintaining a perfect Instagram aesthetic, a little nothingness really is sweet.

Title: After Emmaus: How the Church Fulfills the Mission of Christ

Author: Brian J. Tabb

Narrator: Marcus Jackman

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7:18:17

Language: English

Release date: 12-21-21

Publisher: Bookwire

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity, Biblical Studies

Summary:

'The church's mission does not begin with the Great Commission, but is integrally related to the grand storyline of Scripture.'

Did the Old Testament simply point to the coming of Christ and his saving work, or is there more to the story? After his resurrection, the Lord Jesus revealed how his suffering, glory, and mission plan for the nations are in fact central to the biblical story of redemption.

After Emmausshows how Christology and missiology are integrally connected throughout Scripture, especially in the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. Brian Tabb explains what Luke 24:4647 reveals about God's messianic promises in the Old Testament, their fulfillment in the New Testament, and the purpose of the church. By understanding Jesus's last words to his disciples, Christians today will be motivated to participate in the Messiah's mission.
