Abstract
An interview with blogger and author Tim Challies is presented. He talks about his book "The Next Story: Life and Faith After the Digital Explosion," which focuses on humans' reliance on technology and its impact on faith. Challies describes the risks that technologies such as YouTube and Facebook present to Christians. He argues that new Calvinism cannot be understood apart from the Internet. He also defends the role of authority in culture against the Internet's promise of a radical egalitarianism.
