Abstract

This article examines the extent to which published Christian scholarship provides a foundation for Christian educators to critically assess and make grounded pedagogical decisions about technology. A literature survey of 26 Christian and religious journals from 1970 to 2016 reveals a limited body of scholarship that addresses the complex intersections of pedagogy, technology, and faith. The findings highlight emerging themes from the limited scholarship that does exist, and point to gaps in the literature. The discussion offers guidance to Christian audiences considering how to integrate digital technologies in educational settings ranging from P-12 to higher education, and establishes an agenda for future scholarship.
