In this February 2025 lecture, Brad East builds a case for why he believes digital technology is the greatest threat facing American Christians today. While it is not the sole factor, digital technology is a primary contributor to the malformation of both American society and the American church. East catalogs many ways in which both arenas are not doing well before going on to show how “screentopia” — the world we inhabit — disembodies, dis-embeds, disentangles, and disintegrates us. He concludes with a call for a robust theological anthropology that can form the Church to be “a haven for humans in an inhumane world.”
