Faith in a Digital Cosmos: The Church in the Age of AI

Faith in a Digital Cosmos: The Church in the Age of AI Can faith still speak in an age of artificial intelligence? In Faith in a Digital Cosmos , astrophysicist and patristic theologian Dr. Wesley Jacob brings a powerful and poetic voice to one of the greatest questions of our time: How does the eternal Word reveal Himself in a world of algorithms, data, and digital dreams? Blending the precision of science with the reverence of theology, Jacob unfolds a breathtaking vision of AI and faith , showing how the Church can thrive—not merely survive—in the technological revolution. In an era of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and digital identities, he reminds us that the true image of God cannot be coded, replicated, or replaced. This book is for seekers, scholars, pastors, scientists, and believers longing to rediscover wonder in an increasingly automated world. It is a profound journey through the intersection of Christian theology and technology , exploring what it means to be human, holy, and hopeful in a cosmos alive with divine intelligence. Discover: How the incarnation of Christ speaks into the rise of artificial intelligence and virtual reality - Why machine learning cannot reproduce the mystery of divine love - How theology of creation reframes the language of data, design, and discovery - What the Church’s prophetic voice sounds like in an age of AI, automation, and autonomy - Why faith and science are not adversaries, but allies in unveiling God’s glory Through twelve luminous chapters, Jacob weaves together the wisdom of Scripture, the brilliance of the early Church Fathers, and the wonder of astrophysics. His prose carries both the grandeur of the cosmos and the intimacy of prayer. Drawing from voices like Augustine, Athanasius, Calvin, Bavinck, Lewis, and Penrose , he constructs a theology that transforms fear into worship and curiosity into doxology. “Artificial intelligence may simulate creation,” Jacob writes, “but only the Spirit can breathe new life.” Faith in a Digital Cosmos is both an invitation and a revelation—an invitation to think deeply and worship fully, and a revelation of God’s enduring presence in the circuitry of creation. This is not a book about resisting technology; it is a book about redeeming wonder . It teaches readers to see every pixel, algorithm, and particle as a parable of divine order.

Lewis – The Abolition of Man - Alister McGrath – The Big Question - Francis Collins – The Language of God - N.T. Wright – Surprised by Hope Faith in a Digital Cosmos: The Church in the Age of AI is a bold and beautiful reminder that the wisdom of God is not eclipsed by innovation, but illuminated through it. It is for every believer who longs to see that in the infinite code of the universe, Christ is still the Logos — the Light of the World.
