Christianity and Artificial Intelligence
by Rev. Micah Rowan Wells
In a world being reshaped by algorithms, automation, and artificial intelligence, how should the Church respond?
Christianity and Artificial Intelligence offers a bold and thoughtful exploration of faith in the digital age. Written by Midwest-based pastor Rev. Micah Rowan Wells, this book engages one of the most urgent questions of our time: What does it mean to follow Christ in a world increasingly shaped by machines?
Spanning 39 chapters, this comprehensive guide examines artificial intelligence through a deeply theological lens, addressing ethical concerns, spiritual formation, and the future of worship, leadership, and mission. From the doctrine of the image of God to the role of chatbots in pastoral care, each chapter invites readers to reflect, discern, and lead with wisdom.
Whether you're a pastor, theologian, technologist, or simply a curious believer, this book provides the tools you need to navigate AI with courage, humility, and hope.
Key Topics Include:
The image of God vs. machine intelligence
AI in church leadership, liturgy, and discipleship
Ethics, bias, justice, and the impact of automation
Virtual churches, deepfakes, and misinformation
What Scripture and tradition say about technology's future
Christianity and Artificial Intelligence is not a book about fear. It is a call to faithfulness. To engage. To lead. To shine the light of the gospel in a world of synthetic shadows.
