Overview
A no-nonsense, straightforward guide to what AI is, its impact on our world and the next generation, and how Christians should respond to it with wisdom and confidence.
There's a lot of hype and fear around artificial intelligence. Joe Carter—associate pastor at McLean Bible Church and senior writer at The Gospel Coalition, avoids both extremes in this timely book, responding to the key questions that so many people have about our future with AI:
- What is AI, really? Is it just a fancy search engine?
- Is agentic and generative AI going to keep getting smarter? Will it eventually think like us?
- Is AI making us worse at relationships?
- I'm worried about my kids and AI. What should I know?
Joe responds to these questions and steers us to the questions that we should be asking:
- Does the Bible say anything about AI or technology?
- Can AI give good advice? Should I trust what it tells me?
- What does the “image of God” actually mean for humanity?
By the end of your day, an AI will have filtered the spam from your email, autocompleted your text messages, rerouted your commute to avoid traffic, and recommended a TV show. If the machines had stayed quietly in the background, we would have been fine with them managing these aspects of our lives. But they start talking, and we can no longer pretend that we don't notice them. We are past the point where we can ask whether, as Christians, we should engage with AI. The issue now is only how we will engage.
Will we follow the crowd and get caught up in the whiplash of hype and panic? Or will we engage wisely and with biblical discernment so that we can help shape the future of our digital era in a way that glorifies God?
Your Soul in an AI World will help you apply timeless biblical wisdom and Christian theology to this new powerful tool.
