CHRISTIANITY IN THE DIGITALISED AGE

Christianity remains the largest religious sect in the world, with over 2 billion adherents. Despite different persecutions from different quarters, Christianity is on the rise. In any age, Christianity takes the lead among religious organizations when it comes to welcoming new technological discoveries. In the 17th century, when the printing press was newly introduced, Christianity was so marveled at to an extent that the first set of bibles, usually referred to as the King James Version (KJV), and was published in 1611. In the early 20th century, when radio was newly discovered, Christianity took over the radio world and used it to preach the gospel until the whole radio world was saturated with the message of Christ. The same thing goes with the introduction of television (TV). Telecast evangelists arose in mass throughout the world where people have access to TV, and a lot of people were won to Christ. In the 21st century, which is generally referred to as the digital age, Christian leaders all over the world are now using internet technology to minister Christ to the generation Z, or homo digitalis. The purpose of this article is to instill the culture of digitalization in the hearts of the readers, especially the church leaders. With digitalization, a single person could minister Christ to billions of people at the lowest cost. Indeed, the future robotic age will never leave Christianity behind, as more Christians will fully maximize it to bring home the message of Christ.
