IMAGO DEI the Origin of Intelligence: What Scripture Reveals About Artificial Intelligence, Human Dignity, and Future Minds

What if the Bible has been speaking about artificial intelligence all along?In a world racing toward superintelligence, digital personhood, and machine autonomy, The Imago Dei & the Age of AI delivers a groundbreaking exploration of what Scripture actually says about intelligence, creation, technology, and the future of humanity.Drawing from Genesis to Revelation, this book reveals how the Bible provides the first doctrine of intelligence, the first alignment problem, the first technological warning, and the final vision of humanity's destiny.
