About this ebook

Imagine having lived in the generation that discovered fire.

Very swiftly, current scientific advances will reorder our lives just as much. Artificial Intelligence, decoding the human genome, links between mind and computer... All these things once science fiction, are now quickly—and absolutely—becoming science fact.

Could machines become sentient?

Is "life" a computer simulation?

Does science really have a genetic blueprint for all human life?

Believers and unbelievers alike are easily unnerved by such questions. Interestingly though, early writers from many faiths and fields have already addressed these kinds of issues. From Plato to St. Paul, and Laozi to C.S. Lewis, they all have much to say about our "curiouser and curiouser" new world.

In Faith in the Age of AI, pastor, priest, scholar, and counselor Dan Scott invites you to learn what these hallowed ancient voices have already said about faith in the age of Artificial Intelligence.

Dan Scott’s book is about the nature of Christian faith in our times. Let me first say, the book is quite accessible to the non-specialist, and Scott frequently uses personal anecdotes and home-spun illustrations to make his point. Having said that, he is really looking at big-picture thinking; the book is an ambitious integration of his theology with such diverse fields as physics, mathematics, computing, psychology, comparative religion, and history, to name but a few.
