Homo Religiosus Digital: Faith Formation In The Digital Age

Abstract

This research captures the phenomenon of 'homo religiosus digital', especially among younger faith believers. Indebted to the explanation from the classical work of Mircea Eliade's, The Sacred and the Profane, that the 'human of traditional societies is admittedly a homo religiosus', it seeks the dynamics, even disruption, of faith formation among homo religiosus digital in the millennial generation. As an essential premise of this study, the inclusion of digital technology into their lives shapes the faith formation ofhomo religious digital.
