Antonio Spadaro, S.J. entered the international scene in 2013 when, as editor-in-chief of the Italian Jesuit magazine, La Civilta Cattolica, he broke the story of Pope Francis moderate views on church teaching. Called by some the mouthpiece for the pope, Spadaro is considered an expert on cyber-theology. The holds a Ph.D. from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.
"Fr. Antonio brings a much-needed, theologically-focused
perspective to social media. The lens through which he helps us see
cyberspace resonates with the Patristic and Biblical foundations of
the Church. Friending God challenges us to realize an authentic
Christian identity in cyberspace." Theo Nicolakis, Chief
Information Officer, Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America
"Through its simple but probing language, Fr Spadaro's newest
addition to his ongoing work in cybertheology effectively models
what it preaches: evangelizing online is not first and foremost a
question of doing, but of becoming, and thus, of truly touching the
other." Dr. Nadia Delicata, Lecturer, Fundamental Moral Theology &
Christianity and Culture, Department of Moral and Spiritual
Theology, Faculty of Theology, University of Malta
"In this short, significant book, Spadaro speaks to Catholics about
ways to approach the Internet, as this technology that can be used
for good or ill. Spadaro asserts that its powerful, instantaneous
ability to link to human thought processes indicates that the Web
is inherently enmeshed with spiritual energy." Barbara Bamberger
Scott, US Review of Books
"This book claims that those who participate in online social media
networks are present to the entire population and thereby have
opportunities to engage in a people-centered mission of
neighborliness, sharing, and witness to God." US Review of Books
