Abstract:
Digital evangelism, using technology to spread the message of faith, has become increasingly prevalent today. While some see it as a valuable tool for reaching a wider audience, others view it as a dilution of traditional religious practices. This paper explores the different perspectives on digital evangelism and examines the potential benefits and challenges associated with this practice. Through a review of relevant literature and case studies, this paper highlights how technology has been used for evangelism, the impact of digital evangelism on traditional religious practices, and the ethical considerations surrounding this practice. This paper also discusses digital evangelism’s role in the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences on religious communities worldwide. Overall, this paper aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the different perspectives on digital evangelism and promote more discussion on the function of technology in the practice of faith.
