Spirituality and digitality

Abstract

Digitization is ambivalent: on the one hand, it offers enormous opportunities for freedom, networking, and communication; on the other hand, digitization is associated with subjectification, constraints, and pressure to capitalize. This has an impact on spirituality in the public sphere. It develops great dynamics, is promising, and yet remains problematic. The present research, of theoretical-bibliographical bias, starts from the reality of digitization as a challenge for theology. It then works on contours of Christian spirituality and its relationship with the digital context. Finally, it proposes a critical discussion on the subject.
