CYBER THEOLOGY: NAVIGATING FAITH IN THE VIRTUAL AGE

Abstract

The advent of digital technologies has transformed not only communication and commerce but also religious belief, practice, and community. "Cyber Theology" explores the intersection of technology and faith, examining how theological interpretations are reshaped in virtual spaces. This paper investigates how digital environments—such as online sermons, AI religious assistants, and virtual sacred spaces—impact the expression and experience of spirituality. It draws on interdisciplinary perspectives, including theology, sociology, philosophy, and computer science, to assess the implications of cyber spaces for divine presence, authority, and ritual engagement. The study provides empirical insights from the Pakistani context while aligning with global trends..
