Digitized: Spiritual Implications of Technology

By Bernard Bull and Bernard Dean Bull

When screens shape your days, learn how they shape your soul.

In a world of constant pings, feeds, and scrolling, technology doesn't just serve you--it forms you. In Digitized, Dr. Bernard Bull examines how digital life reshapes attention, desire, relationships, and faith, challenging the common assumption that technology is neutral.

Drawing on Scripture and insights from media ecology, Bull explores how information overload, consumerism, and "always-on" connectivity influence what we believe, how we think, and how we love our neighbor. Rather than calling for withdrawal, he equips Christians for wise, intentional engagement with digital tools.

Grounded in the call to live an examined life, Digitized offers practical frameworks for evaluating everyday digital habits--at home, in the church, and in the broader culture.

In this book, you will:

Distinguish between information, knowledge, and wisdom in a digital age Recognize how platforms shape attention, behavior, and belief Discern when digital "connection" strengthens relationships--or weakens them Apply biblical wisdom to habits like streaming, posting, texting, and sharing Reflect on how technology can serve your vocation rather than distract from it

Accessible and thought-provoking, Digitized invites individuals, families, and congregations to step back, test what they practice, and pursue a more faithful way of living with technology.
