Abstract
From the plow to the printing press, technologies have repeatedly revolutionized human life and shaped our understanding of our purposes and possibilities. Recent advances in automatic machine technology have further revolutionized our understanding of the human prospect. Yet have recent technological developments actually encouraged embodied human flourishing? By exploring the implications of the Christian doctrines of creation, incarnation, and resurrection, Dr. Gay retrieves a foundation from which to evaluate and critique modern technological development without asking us to unplug completely.
