Earlier this week we announced our plans to launch a new, long-term research project convening top Christian thinkers to explore the intersection of Christian ethics and the digital public square.
 
The Digital Public Square project will focus on the areas of:

• Human dignity
• Ethics
• Free speech
• Religious freedom

Jason Thacker, ERLC’s chair of research in technology ethics and author of the forthcoming book, “Following Jesus in the Digital Age,” from B&H Publishing, is spearheading the project. 

The ministry assignment Southern Baptists have given the ERLC asks us to assist churches in applying the moral and ethical teachings of the Bible to Christian life––and this is especially crucial as technology affects more and more aspects of our society. Jason has proven himself to be one of the leading voices in technology ethics and we are so thankful for the biblical wisdom he is providing in this area.

In addition to Thacker’s book, leaders of the Digital Public Square project plan to release a number of assets over a two-year period to equip Christians on why ethics of technology matter to human flourishing and our public discourse. I hope you’ll take a moment today to learn more about the Digital Public Square project by visiting ERLC.com/digital.
