我们的技术塑造了我们的生活、互动、工作、娱乐甚至崇拜的方式。技术和它的力量既古老又崭新——我们需要的智慧是如何设想、设计、建造和很好地使用它。对于热衷于开发技术的基督徒来说,他们的信仰和工作是如何交叉的并不总是很清楚。设计和使用技术如何成为爱上帝和我们邻居的一种方式?
资深工程师和教师伊桑·布鲁(Ethan Brue)、德里克·舒尔曼(Derek Schuurman)和史蒂夫·范德利斯特(Steve VanderLeest)为研究技术的探险家提供了实地指导。他们通过大量的案例研究、历史案例和个人故事,探讨了以下问题:
与科技有关的圣经主题和段落
技术设计中的伦理与规范
工程和技术如何实现人类对更美好世界的梦想
在这一过程中,他们承认技术带来的挑战,但也指出了它为我们提供的美妙可能性及其为共同利益做出贡献的能力。
对于在工程、计算机科学、技术设计、建筑和相关领域学习和工作的基督徒来说,这本书充满了智慧和实践指导。通过分享他们所学到的知识,作者鼓励读者提出更难的问题,追求更崇高的目标,并在与技术打交道时过一种与他们的信仰一致的生活。
A Christian Field Guide to Technology for Engineers and Designers
Our technology shapes the way we live, interact, work, play, and even worship. Technology and its power are both old and new―as is the wisdom we need to envision, design, build, and use it well. For Christians passionate about developing technology, it’s not always clear how their faith and work intersect. How can designing and using technology actually be a way of loving God and our neighbors?
Veteran engineers and teachers Ethan Brue, Derek Schuurman, and Steve VanderLeest provide a field guide for fellow explorers working with technology. Using numerous case studies, historical examples, and personal stories, they explore issues such as
biblical themes and passages that relate to technology
the ethics and norms involved in technology design
how engineering and technology tap into human dreams for a better world
Along the way they acknowledge the challenges arising from technology but also point to the wonderful possibilities it offers us and its ability to contribute to the common good.
For Christians studying and working in engineering, computer science, technical design, architecture, and related fields, this book is packed with wisdom and practical guidance. By sharing what they have learned, the authors encourage readers to ask harder questions, aspire to more noble purposes, and live a life consistent with their faith as they engage with technology.
