Artificial intelligence is coming. And this tech revolution, perhaps more than any such revolution that’s gone before, will change the world. No life will be left untouched. How do Christians navigate their way through these momentous changes? What does Christianity have to say about this brave new world? What will living for Jesus look like in a world where humans, made in God’s image, coexist with intelligent machines made in our image? Author, pastor and self-confessed ‘tech realist’ Stephen Driscoll sets out to answer those questions with a deep dive into the intersection of faith and technology. Avoiding the extremes of both the tech worshippers and the ‘doomers’, Driscoll offers accessible and illuminating insights into the nature of AI, along with practical tips on how Christians might use this technology for good. Most of all, he shows how the deepest structures of biblical thought will equip Christians to live with AI. This book is a must-read for tech-savvy optimists and sceptics alike.

‘Stephen Driscoll is no empty-headed Pollyanna, mindlessly praising technology in all its forms. But neither is he a panicked Chicken Little, shrieking at us to go churn our own butter. Instead, this book is nuanced and careful. But don’t think that makes it boring. Made in Our Image is interesting. But more than that, it’s important, and it will make you think. It’s a book about theology as much as it is about technology.’ Craig Hamilton, Senior Minister, Pitt Town Church, Sydney; Author, Made Man and Wisdom in Leadership
