‘Riveted with Faith Unto Your Flesh’: Technology’s Flight from Actuality and the Word Made Flesh

Posted on June 1, 2023 by exec_admin

You are invited to attend our next monthly meeting to be held on Friday, June 9th from 3:00pm to 4:30pm. We will be discussing “Riveted with Faith Unto Your Flesh”: Technology’s Flight from Actuality and the Word Made Flesh” by Michael Dominic Taylor from the Fall 2022 issue entitled The Flesh (Volume 49.3). The article can be downloaded from here.
