God's Preferred Medium, with Alastair Roberts

The God of the Scriptures has revealed himself in various ways, but which way does he prefer? In this episode, we have a far-ranging conversation with an expert in Scripture who has also studied media ecology. We dive into why God might prefer some mediums over others, tech criticism and wise adoption, tech in worship, the technology of the book, and even Andrew's new favorite subject, technology and idolatry!

We reference John Dyer's People of the Screen a few times. We recorded an episode with John discussing his book here: https://youtu.be/HUfP-oG8Pew?si=bfN-pn8JmhDb0b7l
