Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Using plain language, AI, Faith, and the Future shows us why we can’t hide from artificial intelligence. We are always connected. Our lives are data for big companies. We love the convenience but hate the surveillance. We are overwhelmed by information and misinformation. Here at last is a book that speaks to our worries by addressing the social, economic, and spiritual impact of artificial intelligence. Timely and thoughtful.”
Artificial Intelligence and the Apocalyptic Imagination
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“If you haven’t been paying attention to artificial intelligence, it’s time to start! A highly readable book with clear, nontechnical summaries of the latest expert thinking about artificial intelligence cast within the broad sweep of human civilization. Sobering, enlightening, at times bordering on the frightening, but never without hints of hope that perhaps, just perhaps, we humans will learn to live with and control our greatest invention, this runaway called artificial intelligence.”
Science & Faith
“Can science extend the human lifespan? Can we unlock the secrets of the aging process and learn to slow it down? Yes, or so it seems based on today’s technical advances. In this groundbreaking study, Todd Daly offers a first-rate summary of the science of aging. He interrogates Christian attitudes toward aging across the centuries, asking how Christians today should respond to the idea that technology can delay aging. Chasing Methuselah is by far the best theological treatment of a topic sure to command our attention in the future.”
Theology
“This book is beautifully crafted, with language so fresh it made me wonder: What might have happened if the first Christian theologians had engaged Eastern writers like Lao Tzu as well as Plato? Heup Young Kim’s Christodao offers just such an engagement. It is the definitive statement of his lifelong project that bridges East and West and offers us a re-envisioned Christianity. If you share my weariness with the same old rationalistic dogmatics, I encourage you to let Christodao awaken your heart to a new world of possibilities.”
Biblical Studies & Commentaries
“If you care about what the Bible actually says about creation, you need this book! It is a comprehensive and concise exploration of all the key biblical texts, examined in light of other ancient texts like the Enuma Elish. Best of all, God the Creator connects Scripture to theology, patiently showing us where we have so often misinterpreted the Bible and pointing us to a more authentic and inspiring vision of creation made new. Steven Tuell has given us exactly what’s needed: an expert summary written for nonexperts. Thorough, accessible, and packed with new insight, God the Creator is a gift for informed preachers and for biblically literate Christians.”
Ethics, Culture & Social Issues
“Each human person is unique, irreplaceable, and precious in worth and dignity. Paul Louis Metzger brings this truth to life, insisting that persons are more than their genes or abilities or social status. Metzger's personalism has a prophetic ring to it, forged in the authenticity of his own experiences while addressing today's most urgent moral challenges, including marriage and monogamy, environmental justice, compassion for the dying, race relations, and more. Sweeping in scope while precise in detail, More Than Things is a heartfelt call for all of us to re-center ourselves on what is truly important by moving from the culture of things to the culture of persons.”
Science & Faith
“About fifty years ago, a new dialogue between science and religion began to replace the older period of conflict. While the dialogue has been rewarding, it's time for some hard questions. Is it really possible to do interdisciplinary work between science and religion? Is a new academic field being launched? Or are theologians and scholars of religion just being too accommodating, seeking to be relevant in a culture of science but losing their own distinctive voice? . . . Honest, forthright, sometimes disturbing, but always insightful and instructive.”
