The team at Logos asked me to write some thoughts on technology and how we at Logos think about the role of technology in the mission of the church and our for-profit business that exists to “use technology to equip the church to grow in the light of the Bible.”
Many have angst about this new era of large language models and generative AI. While this next wave of innovation brings with it its own set of unique risks and dangers, there are also many opportunities for good. And that has been true of virtually all technological innovation since the beginning of time.
It’s my conviction that the Bible’s timeless message provides us with a strong foundation for building and applying technology in every generation for the good of the church and the glory of God, neither being ignorant of its risks and dangers nor being negligent to put it to productive use in kingdom and gospel work.
A piece entitled “Redeeming Technology: How Technology Fits into God’s Story” appeared on the Logos blog yesterday. In it I briefly trace the theological theme of technology through the overarching good-news story of the Bible and tease out some principles that Christians should be mindful of as they evaluate, use, build, and apply technology.
