The paper argues that the history of technology proves some common assumptions of the theological treatment of technology to be wrong. Therefore both the relation of technology to the Christian culture and the place of technology within Christian doctrine have to be reconsidered. As technology does not merely substitute but supplements the existing the idea of the concursus divinus is a more adequate expression for a theological understanding of technology than the doctrine of creation. In terms of method the ethics of technology deals with the different perceptions of a given technique, which is to be evaluated with respect to us many places in contemporary culture.
