Tim Chester on image, identity, idolatry and self-promotion - the particular dangers of social networking, handled pastorally and biblically. Read more.
Social networking went from nothing to a major feature of modern life in a very few years, with hundreds of millions of users and half of them logging in on any given day. There is much that is good about it, and the benefits are real.
But what about the dangers? Image, identity, idolatry and self-promotion are just some of the challenges it presents, and Dr Tim Chester looks at these pastorally and biblically in his usual direct manner. Short enough to read in a sitting, and the sort of booklet worth giving to a teenager or discussing in a small group.
