AI Shepherds and Electric Sheep

Church Leadership & Ministry

“Working through the lens of the biblical story, O’Callaghan and Hoffman sketch a Christian approach to AI that is theologically informed, philosophically thoughtful, and yet eminently practical. A clear, wise, and timely resource, with particular relevance for educators and pastors.”

Restless Devices

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“Engineers may build our digital tools, but we need wise social scientists like Felicia Wu Song to help us understand their wider impact. This timely book not only illuminates the challenges of a society saturated by digital technology but also points a way forward with practical guidance for living faithfully in a digital age.”

The Mind and the Machine

Apologetics

“Dickerson is a thoughtful computer scientist exploring the presuppositions behind the notion that the human mind is nothing more than a complex machine. By pushing this idea to its logical conclusion, he shows the troubling implications for free will, creativity, environmental care, and reason. By contrasting this reductionistic approach with a view informed by the biblical story, Dickerson affirms a holistic view of what it means to be human. This is simply the best book I have found on this important topic--I highly recommend it!”

Transhumanism and the Image of God

Science & Faith

“The adage that 'we shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us' takes on a new meaning with transhumanism. In this timely book, Shatzer explores how the liturgies of certain technologies can nudge us unwittingly toward a transhuman future and recommends practices that remind us what it truly means to be human.”
