Reihe: AI for Everything

What if theology was never meant to be static? What happens when the act of faith is reimagined across generations, cultures, and now, code? How can diverse theological perspectives work together to build ethical AI?

This book explores how AI offers a new lens for understanding faith, challenging communities to see theology as a dynamic, creative process rather than a static tradition.

This book examines how Christianity itself is a tradition of reimagining and reinventing. From Scripture woven from fragments of law, prophecy, and poetry to Christ as the Logos made flesh, faith has always been transmitted, transformed, and re-voiced in response to new contexts. Through chapters on Christology, eschatology, and ecclesiology, the book reimagines salvation, identity, and mission in light of AI ethics, neural networks, and posthuman theology. It celebrates fidelity and transformation, embracing hybridity, resisting binaries, and reframing the church as an ever-evolving community in a digital age.

Designed for theologians, pastors, students, and anyone curious about the intersection of faith and technology, this book offers fresh insights for engaging Scripture, worship, and doctrine.
