Digital Discipleship in Digital Religion Perspective

Abstract

This study discusses the importance of digital discipleship as a Christian response to the development of internet-based technology. By conducting an exegetical analysis of discipleship in Acts 2:42 regarding the way of life of the early church, its construction is obtained as a way of forming a spiritual experience, which matures and strengthens the faith and fellowship of Christians. This study rearranges this construction from a digital perspective and concludes that digital discipleship needs to be added as a new vocabulary in the construction of Christian theology. The merging of old tradition-based concepts and new technology-based strategies is an Inevitable trend in Christian discipleship. However, even though they differ in methods and practices, the purpose of discipleship and fellowship, as in the early church, is still the same because the church is challenged to adapt rather than distance itself.
