With rapid technological advances and the increasing impact of the internet, the world is literally at our fingertips. Yet many churches have yet to discover how to tap into this powerful resource. "The Internet Church" shows church leaders how to start from square one in creating an interactive website that can greatly expand the ministry potential of a church. Walter Wilson, an internet expert and committed Christian, describes how technology can enhance evangelism outreach, and challenges leaders to take advantage of unprecedented opportunities in the new digital age.

Review

From a Silicon Valley perspective the Internet is changing history through advanced technology, but from author Walter Wilson's perspective, the Internet is an opportunity to change the history of Christianity. As a devout Christian and CEO of Exclaim Technologies, Inc., an Internet applications provider for the business market, Wilson sees the Internet as a "God-given" opportunity for churches around the world. Wilson compares the current "information highway" to the network of military roads that the Romans built almost two millennia ago. Ultimately, Christian missionaries travelled that same network of roads to bring the Gospel to the world. "Here we are 2,000 years later--the business language of the world is English and the online network, originally built by the US, is in place," he writes. "Is it a coincidence that this first century theme would present itself?"

At first Wilson makes a strong case for why churches must utilise the Internet. From there he offers concrete advice for how churches can take advantage of this vastly expansive missionary opportunity. For example, if a church has its own web site it can welcome new members, list activities, suggest study tools, and link to other meaningful sites. Part manifesto, part manual, Internet Church is bound to inspire Christians to jump on the information bandwagon. --Ali Perry-Gallagher
