How does the use of technology affect people's experience of spirituality and the formation of religious identity and community? How do developments in the latest technological breakthroughs such as the Internet influence the ways people constitute themselves as social beings, and how does it shape their experience of the sacred and the divine? Conversely, to what extent, and in what ways do religious beliefs and practices shape people’s attitude towards new technology and its deployment? Combining wide-ranging empirical investigations and sophisticated theoretical reflections, this book demonstrates how the technological and the religious often intersect with the political, thereby elucidating the complex relationships between spirituality, social and identity formation, sovereignty and power.Social sciences in Asia ;v. 26.Religion and scienceTechnologyReligious aspectsChristianityTechnologyAsiaMass mediaReligious aspectsAsiaReligionReligion and science.TechnologyReligious aspectsChristianity.TechnologyMass mediaReligious aspects.201/.6384095Lim Francis Khek Gee1164262MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821862703321Mediating piety4094958UNINA
