  In the Old Testament prophetic texts of Isaiah (2:1-5) and Joel (3:7-12) there are two opposite calls to adapt technology for the purposes of God and the community: one call to adapt armory into farming utensils (Isaiah) and another to adapt farming utensils into armory (Joel).

Consider the role of context, purpose, morals, and innovation in technological development
