We live in the age of the retouchable selfie. For those navigating
the world of social media, the issue of how one presents oneself to
the world has never been more critical. Psychological studies have
shown the high impact of this selfie culture on the mental health
of young people especially. How might the long tradition of the
Christian gaze, found in scripture, art, theology and philosophy
speak into this selfie generation? What, in this context, might be
the significance of the doctrine of humankind's creation in God's
image, or of the incarnation? On a more practical level, how might
the monastic tradition of the 'chaste gaze' challenge or reinforce
the selfie-culture? Putting such theological and ethical questions
into dialogue with psychological studies and philosophical
understandings, the book offers an important pastoral and scholarly
resource for anyone seeking to understand theologically one of the
most profound developments of the digital age.
