Description

If digital culture changes what it means to be human, how does theology track this? Theology has in recent times moved towards a greater regard for the subjective dimension of human personhood.

Drawing on Kierkegaard's theological anthropology and inspired by Ghana's online Christianity, this work brings theology into a creative and exciting conversation with several disciplines exploring various aspects of lived experience, including digital religion, modern sociology, Western philosophy of technology, and African philosophy. The result of this dialogue is a distilled view of how the digital impacts personal subjectivity as a component of the self-making process. This insight funds a creative reimagination of personhood that brings theological anthropology up to speed with a fast-changing digital world. It also provides a theoretical platform for public theology that speaks effectively and conscientiously to a digitalised world. In the process, it revisits and expands on old and new debates in philosophy and theology.
