Book excerpt: The study is the result of a theological research and is based on current discussions on digitalization in Christian Social Ethics. The book answers questions such as: How can the Church use digitalization to advance her mission in the modern world? Since digitalization has redefined the landscape of evangelization and is now very much favoured by young people, how can the Church use digitalization to engage the young people in her mandate to evangelize the world? This work also examines how digitalization could be used to combat corruption, especially in the Nigerian public and private sectors. It suggests various measures by which internet fraud and corruption could be reduced, using digital tools. It stresses, however, that these measures can only have a positive outcome, if the government and its institutions are sincere and resolute in their determination to curb such corruption.
