Meet the New American Family, Digitally Deluged
Thursday, June 17, 2010
Christians are not called to be modern-day Luddites, smashing digital devices with sledgehammers. But we are called to be faithful stewards of digital opportunities, even as we are also called to be faithful in all our relationships.

Humanity had better think hard about whether this is a journey we are ready to entrust to scientists alone. The most urgent question raised by this new announcement is not so much what it means, but where it leads.
Giving the Nook a Good Look
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Just before Christmas I took delivery of a new Nook, the dedicated e-reader recently released by Barnes & Noble.

Listening to the Culture at the Cineplex
Do the movies we watch tell us anything about our cultural values and worldview? On today’s program, guest host Russell Moore not only reveals his hatred for robots, but he also explores the questions raised by recent releases such as The Dark Knight and Wall-E. He’s joined by theologian and author Timothy Paul Jones and…
The Challenge of Attention in the Digital Age
Thursday, May 22, 2008
George F. Will once remarked that, if you are going to read a liberal journal, you should read The American Prospect. I read several, but few are as stimulating (and sometimes infuriating) as TAP.
