book review: Thy Kingdom Connected | Jesus Creed

Chris Ridgeway | 30 Jan 2010 | 18:27

I’ve got a book review today up on Scot McKnight’s blog, Jesus Creed.  I walk through Dwight Friesen’s Thy Kingdom Connected:  What the Church Can Learn from Facebook, the Internet, and Other Networks.  I found it to be a reasonable early attempt at what I might call “digital faith seeking understanding.”  The book is less about Facebook, et al and more about what those cultural metaphors show us about God, the church, and the Kingdom.  I have some concerns, but a good read overall.  Check out my review.

    Excellent review, Chris. I left a comment over at Scot’s site. Are you going to the Theology After Google conference at Claremont? I believe Dwight will be there. Looking forward to continuing the conversation.

    Yeah – I doubt I’ll be able to make it… so let’s hope the live Tweeting is good, and audio is posted…
