A Christian’s Guide to AI

“There is every indication that AI may prove to be one of the most powerful and important technologies of our time. We cannot sit idly by but must instead learn what AI is, what benefits it may bring to our lives, and what drawbacks it may exact from them. I’m thankful that Pete Killingley models that kind of deliberate examination and careful engagement in A Christian’s Guide to AI.”

“As AI use accelerates, some of our oldest questions get sharper. What does it really mean to be human? To work, to create, to relate, and to bear responsibility? Pete Killingley addresses these questions and more with Bible in hand, helping us engage with new technologies without losing our hold on God’s truth. This is a wise biblical guide for navigating complex technological terrain while following and trusting the God who remains Lord over it all.”

“If only we had a helpful, biblical, thoughtful ‘primer’ to get us thinking straight and establish some wise boundaries around AI. We do! And this is it. Pete’s book is clear, measured and rooted in Scripture. It steers a useful course between extremes and shows how Christians can think soberly about the world God has placed us in. I benefitted greatly from reading this from cover to cover (without an AI summary), and you will too.”

“I confess to having been a bit ‘head-in-the-sand’ about AI—avoiding it seems easier than learning how to engage in an informed and godly way. I’m so thankful to Pete for producing this accessible and immensely helpful book. He addresses the questions we all need to grapple with, applying the timeless wisdom of God’s word to each with grace, humility and an appropriate amount of humour! An invaluable resource.”

“Pete Killingley has done a great service to the church. With wit and wisdom, he guides us through the strange, new world of AI, avoiding both hand-wringing doom and gushing about the utopia on offer. Instead, from solid research and biblical application, he shows us both the possibilities and temptations that AI presents. The book is really about how to preserve human dignity and integrity when faced with a new technology. If you care about being truly human in today’s AI-infused world, read this book.”

“As the church begins to grapple with the implications of AI, we need resources that are theologically and pastorally wise. Pete Killingley offers exactly that. This book provides a clear and thoughtful introduction to vital questions that followers of Jesus should be asking about AI. This is a timely and valuable resource that will help equip the church to respond with wisdom, clarity and faithfulness in a rapidly changing world.”

“Pete has written a very helpful primer for Christians on engaging with AI. It is well researched, makes helpful distinctions and offers wise advice. He asks really excellent discussion questions which press the reader to decide what they will do in various arenas. This will make you a better user of AI.”

“With clarity and accessibility, Pete gently draws the reader through the questions he raises about AI and our relationship with it. I love that this book is rooted in Scripture and shaped by the lived experience of an author who is a father, pastor and someone helping the church engage in the public square. He models how to ask the right critical questions about AI, holding them alongside the hope we have in Christ. This is a thoughtful and grounded guide.”
