Book Review: The Nexus Between ICT and Liturgy: Towards Consolidating Digital Worship in the African Context

Abstract

Our time is agog with activities of human beings that are increasingly affected in form, size, content and time by the Information and Communications Technology (ICT). The result is that the benefits of the attendant information revolution are very well pervasive. Banking, commerce, contract, communication, publication, education, research, marketing and so on, are enhanced and facilitated by ICT and its applications. Recently, liturgists, theologians and religious scholars have shown huge interest on how ICT can best be harnessed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Catholic liturgy. While the use of ICT may appear evident, the profound links and the countless opportunities it has for the 21st century e-worship are yet to be considerably explored. The book entitled The Nexus between ICT and Liturgy in the African Context: Towards Consolidating Digital Worship in the African Context deals with the future of worship in Churches at this era of digital blast.
