- This 260-page book is the culmination of ten years of research, including four years of ethnographic study. This is the first academic monograph to focus on the phenomenon of Christian “online churches” and it describes their development from the 1980s to the late 2010s. It uses participant observation and interviews to analyse five landmark examples of online Christian churches in detail, analysing them in conversation with the fields of sociology of religion, media philosophy, and media studies. This data is used to propose a new understanding of the development of religious technologies.
