A Christian Perspective on Computer Science


Discerning a Christian view of computer science and technology leads to many questions. Reformed Christians confess that our faith is comprehensive, that it informs all areas of life. But exactly how does faith influence the study of computer technology? The following are some articles on Christianity and Computing:

Article 52 from the contemporary testimony Our World Belongs to God provides a good summary of a Christian view of technology:

Grateful for advances
in science and technology,1
we make careful use of their products,2
on guard against idolatry
and harmful research,
and careful to use them in ways that answer3
to God's demands
to love our neighbor
and to care for the earth and it creatures.4

1 Gen. 1:28-31; 9:1-7
2 1 Chron. 29:1-19
3 1 Tim. 4:1-5
4 Rom. 8:19-23
