Description
What does computer programming have to do with God? In this 32 page booklet, Jonathan Stoddard shows how computing transcends computers themselves and finds its source in the God who speaks the world into existence. The way programmers write code gives them a unique insight into God’s all-powerful word. In fact, programmers image God when they use words to accomplish specific tasks in an orderly fashion. Like God, they can make their code beautiful in how effectively it carries out the task (and avoids crashing!). Many books dealing with religion and computer science start with computers and make the jump to God, inferring that God is like a computer. Stoddard argues that computer science is only possible because of a covenantal God, and that God’s attributes are what inform the nature of computer programming. Discover how constructing software can glorify God and unveil more of his character.
Advance Praise
“Computer science and information technology have become more and more important in our world, and we greatly need the distinctively Christian vision of the subject that Mr. Stoddard offers. Highly recommended.”
- Vern S. Poythress, Professor of New Testament Interpretation and Editor of the Westminster Theological Journal, Westminster Theological Seminary
