The key finding is that the churches do not take extensive advantage of the opportunities for two-way communication offered by the platforms, but primarily use their social media channels to promote church activities or broadcas ... more
"Os pastores de internet ocupam um lugar de fala privilegiado e põem em circulação as estratégias para o compartilhamento de suas respectivas mensagens, tornando-se referências para os seus milhões de seguidores.

"Este artigo discute a interseção entre desinformação e religião a partir de canais do YouTube tendo como cenário a pandemia de COVID-19. Para tanto, são analisados 75 materiais audiovisuais postados em dois canais do YouTube – do Pastor Silas Malafaia e do Instituto Plinio Corrêa de Olive ... more
"Längst ist die Kirche auch in den sozialen Medien angekommen. Gleichzeitig reagieren viele Bistümer aber noch verhalten auf die digitale Glaubensverkündigung und Evangelisierung im Web. Dabei bergen die sozialen Medien das bislang wenig genutzte Potenzial zur Beziehungspflege, das oft verloren g ... more
"The internet has been conceptualized as a public sphere in which constructive dialogues – such as inter-religious dialogues – can occur. Public spheres, however, require reason, reflectivity and sincerity rarely found in most web spaces. Therefore, this approach might be counterproductive. Inst ... more
"The article argues that the debate over the online prayer is not just an ordinary fatwa issued by religious scholars for the Muslim Ummah, but it rather goes through a complicated process of social, identarian, cultural, authoritative, and transnational caveats. The physicality entailed by this deb ... more
"This book [...] examines the shift from a propositional to a therapeutic approach to faith from a sociological standpoint. The book covers two research projects in particular: the Twitter Gospels and Online Moralistic Therapeutic Deism. It explores the data as it relates to Abby Day's concept of pe ... more

"Desde el comienzo de su pontificado, Francisco ha enfatizado que no hay futuro sin un enraizamiento en la historia vivida.

La vida se hace historia

Punto de Encuentro (Signis ALC), volume 10, issue 131 (2020), pp. 3-30
"Social media serves to strengthen human and social relations through connectivity, and promotes a culture of free enterprises beyond boundaries. Church recognizes that sodal media and networks are a 'gift from God'. Without authentic love, sense of unity and urgency for charity, the social media co ... more
"Christiche Akteure im Netz: Die einen bieten allerlei Lebensdienliches, die anderen punkten mit Provokationen. Die Kirchen sollten sich von diesem Medienphänomen nicht zu viel versprechen. Denn es steht für ein Christentum, das sich der digitalen Marktlogik unterwirft und nicht in der realen Welt ... more
