We can do so many amazing things online, from building virtual communities to sharing what really matters to us. At the same time, social media tends to accentuate, accelerate and exaggerate the issues we already have – highlighting our flaws and our fears.
As Christians, we often wonder how our faith interacts with our life online. If the Bible was written 2,000 years ago, does it have anything to say to our modern day struggles with social media?
The Gospel Online unpacks what it looks like to be a faithful Christian in a digital world. This book isn’t a series of rules for using your time online or a list of top tips for how to get the most out of social media. Instead, Ben Horrex traces five themes through the Bible to show us how the gospel can transform every part of us – our words, our identities, and our relationships – both online and off.
