Abstract
As digital technology permeates more aspects of our cultures, the relation of technology to religion has drawn particular attention. Representatives of some religious groups have rejected, others have embraced, the novel media and capabilities that digital (and especially 'online') technology afford users. This essay argues that the more salient aspect of the crisis derives from the unfamiliarity of particular technologies more than from their alleged intrinsic qualities and capacities. Religious deliberation concerning technology will do best to consider a tradition's long trajectory of engagement with (or avoidance of) technology.
