ATLA CDRI

Cooperative Digital Resources Initiative of the American Theological Library Association and Association of Theological Schools is a repository of digital resources contributed by member libraries. The creation of CDRI was made possible by a generous grant from the Henry Luce Foundation; it is now an ongoing ATLA program.

The CDRI database provides access to digital images of woodcuts, photographs, slides, papyri, coins, maps, postcards, manuscripts, lithographs, sermons, shape-note tune books, and various forms of Christian art, architecture, and iconography.

  • What Borgmann is proposing here the Desert Fathers would have called
    ascesis—the willingness to embrace suffering and the mundane demands of
    the encumbered life, the willingness to forfeit comfort. In an era of pervasive
    technology, there will be no faith, no reverence, and ultimately no true
    fulfillment without ascesis, voluntary withdrawal from technology's effortless
    pleasures. Even our most technologically immersed contemporaries sense this—woe
    to the suitor having dinner with his beloved, or the vice president making a
    presentation to her CEO, who stops to answer a cell phone call.
    • This is the propsed solution to the pull of technology; voluntary suffering by opting out of certain conveniences. - on 2009-03-05

A Confrontation with Technicism as the Spiritual Climate of the West

Schuurman, E. (1996, Spring). A Confrontation with Technicism as the Spiritual Climate of the West. Westminster Theological Journal 58(1). 64-84.

Discusses the idea of technicism, ideology of technology, and how it affect culture. Interesting but contains very sweeping conclusions without much evidence.
