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.
