Then I introduce the anonymous Letter to Diognetus and Maximus the Confessor’s Book of Difficulties, especially the parts about the creative coexistence of the four areas I demonstrate that these sources do not consider them strange bedfellows. I consider the scriptural stories of the Fall and the Tower of Babel, showing what they mean for the way theology, spirituality, science, and technology intersect. It goes the same for two modern Orthodox theologians, Pelikan and Stăniloae. However, traditionally, the early Christians approached human resourcefulness with discernment and wisely. The issue lies with the popular assumption that the Orthodox follow the early Christians who, supposedly, opposed science and technology. This paper considers whether Orthodox theology and spirituality can interact with science and technology peacefully and creatively.
