Book
Sutherland, Dawn Lewis. From Babel to AI: Idolatry, Transhumanism, and the Crisis of Imago Dei. Eugene, OR: Wipf and Stock, 2025.
From Babel to AI confronts the profound questions of human identity and purpose in an age dominated by technological innovation. Drawing from biblical narratives like the Tower of Babel, this thought-provoking work explores how artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and other modern advancements echo ancient struggles with idolatry and hubris. At its core, this book calls readers to rediscover the doctrine of the imago Dei, the belief that humanity is created in the image of God, as the foundation for addressing the ethical and theological challenges of our time.
