When it comes to technology, change is expected and innovation is assumed. From Gutenberg to Google and a supercomputer that fits in my pocket, our inventions outpace themselves faster than we can keep up.
Yet when it comes to theology we often take the opposite approach: change is avoided and innovation is the enemy.
Theology is a technology. It evolves out of our human experience and cultural context. And as a technology, when it lives in the past it dies in the present. But when it lives in the future it can take us to a brave new world, boldly going where no one has gone before.
