Reviews

"The book provides a substantial introduction to the anthropological and theological questions raised by our life "on line": smartphones, Google, virtual spaces, avatars. Spadaro raises questions having to do with the need of the Church to engage the new 'intellectus fidei' in the age of the internet."-Massimo Faggioli, University of St. Thomas "Cybertheology by Antonio Spadaro is an excellent attempt to understand Christian faith and theology in the era of the Internet and digital communication. It is a pioneering work that contributes to a new understanding of the familiar concept of theology as faith seeking understanding."-Jose Palakeel, Theologicon, Kochi, India
