Digital technology is having a transformative impact on society. From smartphones and conference calls to large language models and machine learning algorithms, these technologies are changing the way we interact, the way we behave, and even the way we think. But what is the true purpose of these proliferating technologies? How are digital processes and products influencing and reshaping cultures? And do we need to protest their rapidly growing influence? Meanwhile, within Christianity, several denominations such as Baptist, URC, Quaker are founded on a strong tradition of dissent. Opposing state interference in religious matters was key, while emphasising the pursuit of justice and opposition to discrimination. Indeed, some of the key principles of modern democracies, including religious freedom, can be traced back to these faith traditions. But what might it mean to continue a commitment to dissent in today’s digital sphere? Dissenting in a Digital Age is about what these traditions of dissent can bring to discussions in Digital Theology. Contributors discuss how new technologies have altered the way in which dissenting communities gather, worship and live out their faith, including how social activists, church leaders, and campaigners are employing digital technologies to facilitate dissent. Scholars with interest in dissenting traditions and of digital theology will find much to grapple with in this edited volume, with contributions from Rachel Muers, Steve Holmes and Paul Fiddes.

Large, Heavy or Oversized Orders

Our standard delivery charges are designed to cover the vast majority of orders. However, occasionally an order may be particularly large, heavy or bulky, meaning that the actual cost of delivery is significantly higher than the standard delivery charge shown at checkout.

This is more likely to apply to larger orders being delivered to Northern Ireland, Europe or destinations outside mainland UK, although it may occasionally apply to other orders.

If your order requires an additional delivery charge, we will contact you before dispatching your order to explain the additional cost and obtain your agreement. We will never take an additional delivery payment without contacting you first.

If you do not wish to pay the additional delivery charge, you will have the option to cancel the affected order for a full refund.

European and Rest of World Deliveries

Please note that we are still shipping to the EU and the rest of the world but due to Brexit there maybe delays and customs charges in the country of your delivery. Unfortunately this is outside of our control.

Checking The Progress Of Your Order

You will be sent an email informing you when your order has been dispatched. In addition to this you can follow the progress of each item you have ordered by checking your account details (login and click on ‘My Account’ on the top right of the screen).
