Digitized: Spiritual Implications of Technology

When screens shape daily life, how do Christians discern their faithful use?

In Digitized: Spiritual Implications of Technology, Dr. Bernard Bull offers a clear, theologically grounded examination of how digital technologies form not only our habits but also our hearts and minds. Rather than treating technology as neutral, Bull helps readers recognize how constant connectivity, information overload, and digital media shape our understanding of truth, authority, and love for neighbor.

Grounded in Scripture and engaging the Lutheran Confessions, Digitized calls readers to a more attentive, examined life—one shaped by discernment, humility, and wisdom. Bull’s approach draws on a distinctly Lutheran understanding of vocation, helping Christians consider how everyday digital habits either support or distort their callings in family, church, and community.
Dr. Bull brings both academic depth and practical clarity to this conversation. As a respected educator, author, and voice on faith and culture, he equips readers not simply to critique technology, but to engage it faithfully and responsibly under God’s Word.

In this book, readers will:

• Distinguish between information, knowledge, and wisdom in an age of digital abundance
• Examine how technology shapes attention, relationships, and patterns of thought
• Apply the Ten Commandments to everyday digital practices
• Discern how digital “connection” can either deepen or diminish love for neighbor
• Reflect on how technology can serve, rather than distract from, one’s God-given vocation

Rather than offering quick fixes or rigid rules, Digitized invites individuals, families, and congregations to test their practices against God’s Word and live with greater intentionality. It is a timely resource for Christians seeking to navigate the digital age with clarity and faithfulness.
