Tower of Babel: What Technology Means Today
The tower of Babel is not a warning against tools. It is a warning about what tools become when a people harness them to make a name for themselves and secure themselves against God's command.
Genesis 11:1–9: Is the Tower of Babel About Technology?
The Tower of Babel is often read as a warning against technology, but the text never condemns bricks, engineering, or building. It condemns a united project that sought a name for itself and resisted the spread God had commanded.
