Abstract

This dissertation explores the profound impact of technology on Christianity by examining how it has reshaped theological thought and practice. Beginning with technological innovations of the printing press, radio, and television and progressing to modern developments of computers, the internet, social media, and artificial intelligence, the research explores the evolution of Christian communication, worship, and doctrine. 

The paper will focus on the theological doctrines of anthropology, ecclesiology, missiology, and eschatology and assess how digital innovations redefined concepts of human identity, church community, mission outreach, and end-times interpretations. Drawing on interdisciplinary sources and real-world examples, the research evaluates both the opportunities and ethical challenges presented by the technological integration into Christian contexts. Ultimately, this work offers theological reflections and practical guidance to church leaders navigating the digital transformation, arguing that while technology significantly influences religious life, it must be critically assessed to maintain the integrity of biblical doctrine and spiritual authenticity.
