Abstract

Christian theology in the postmodern era faces significant challenges driven by relativism, pluralism, and secularism, as well as the rapid advancement of digital technology. This study aims to examine the contextualisation of Christian theology in response to the dynamics of popular culture, focusing on the application of relevant theology in the virtual world without compromising the principles of the Gospel. The method employed is content analysis of both classical and contemporary theological literature. The findings of the research indicate that digital technology can be utilised by the Church to build an inclusive and transformative faith community while maintaining the integrity of Christian teachings. This study reveals the importance of contextualising theology in the digital realm, which not only addresses the challenges of the present age but also responds to the spiritual needs of postmodern society, creating space for a more relevant, Christ-centred Church mission.
