20.500.12556/RUL-185493 From screens to souls the possibilities and limits of digital spirituality Od zaslonov do duš možnosti in omejitve digitalne duhovnosti In an increasingly digitized world, spirituality is no longer confined to physical gatherings. Virtual liturgies, prayer apps, online communities, and digital retreats now offer unprecedented accessibility and resonance. These platforms can extend sacred space and sustain connection, yet they also risk enclosing believers within curated environments that privilege immediacy, emotional gratification, and algorithmic mediation.This article examines the phenomenon of digital spirituality through the lens of theological anthropology, especially the vision of the human person as ima-go Dei—embodied, relational, and called to communion. Insights from neuro-science and psychology show how digital technologies stimulate reward and bonding systems, generating the sensation of connection. But without embodied presence and mutual vulnerability, such experiences often lack the depth needed for lasting transformation. Digital spirituality thus reveals both its promise and its peril. It can serve as a supplement to religious life, offering new avenues of access and reflection, but it also carries hidden risks of commodification, superficiality, and addiction. Authentic spiritual maturity cannot be reduced to the passive consumption of digital content. It requires embodied, accountable relationships in which digital tools may serve as companions—but never substitutes—on the journey toward communion with God and one another. V vse bolj digitaliziranem svetu duhovnost ni več omejena zgolj na fizična srečanja. Virtualna liturgija, aplikacije za molitev, spletne skupnosti in digitalne duhovne vaje danes ponujajo doslej neznano dostopnost in odmevnost. Platforme sveti prostor širijo na dostopen način in ohranjajo povezave, pri čemer pa obstaja tudi nevarnost, da vernike zaprejo v skrbno oblikovana okolja, ki dajejo prednost takojšnjosti, čustvenemu zadovoljstvu in algoritmičnemu posredovanju vsebin.Članek fenomen digitalne duhovnosti preučuje skozi prizmo teološke antropo-logije, zlasti vizije človeka kot imago Dei – utelešenega, odnosnega in k občestvu poklicanega bitja. Spoznanja iz nevroznanosti in psihologije kažejo, da digitalne tehnologije za ustvarjanje občutka povezanosti spodbujajo sisteme nagrajeva-nja in povezovanja. A brez dejanske prisotnosti in medsebojne ranljivosti takim izkušnjam pogosto primanjkuje globine, potrebne za trajno preobrazbo.Digitalna duhovnost razkriva tako svoje obete kot tudi nevarnosti. Lahko služi kot dopolnilo verskemu življenju in ponuja nove poti ter razmišljanja, vendar pa v sebi skriva tudi tveganje za komodifikacijo, površnost in zasvojenost – pra-ve duhovne zrelosti pa ni mogoče zreducirati na pasivno uživanje digitalnih vsebin. Zahteva namreč utelešene, odgovorne odnose, v katerih lahko digitalna orodja na poti k občestvu z Bogom in drug z drugim služijo kot spremljevalci – nikoli pa ne kot nadomestki. digital spirituality imago Dei embodiment behavioural addiction sacred space digitalna duhovnost imago Dei utelešenje vedenjska odvisnost sveti prostor true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-08-06 14:28:38 2026-08-06 14:28:44 2026-08-07 04:08:26 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 115-129 [št.] 1 Letn. 86 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-07-15 2-584:004.9 0006-5722 10.34291/BV2026/01/Celarc 285206019 Celarc.pdf Celarc.pdf 1 1B914A844571CE9EFC5413328A254286 2c87696a4e5cbd4b077ed3e671c79c7fbaedb9bee30e2523cb74fe61f475a0a2 2284a6a5-9192-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=244045 https://journals.uni-lj.si/BV/article/view/23935 1 05b9f0f6-9192-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=244043 https://journals.uni-lj.si/BV/article/view/23935/21522 1 0616a181-9192-11f1-9b0d-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=244044 Teološka fakulteta Bogoslovni vestnik 0 0 0
