About the Book

This book examines key features of the current relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Bible translation and interpretation. The volume contains three sections, broadening outward. First, the contributors explore AI in Bible translation using four case studies on the current use of AI and its promises and perils. Second, the book touches on AI and Bible translation using five perspectives on the meaning of AI for Bible translation. Finally, the book explores AI and Bible interpretation with four examples showing the tensions between AI and human interpretations of the Bible.

Review :
Few developments are shaping modern life as rapidly as artificial intelligence, now making its mark across all fields-including biblical studies. This timely collection demonstrates the enormous and mostly positive impact of AI for biblical studies, particularly in areas of textual criticism, translation, and interpretation, while also examining important limitations and potential pitfalls. An impressive roster of contributors, including several with deep expertise in both religion and AI, provide historical context and insightful direction through the most promising and intriguing possibilities on the horizon AI is here. And for anyone fascinated by the remarkable technology of artificial intelligence and the compelling message of the Bible, this is your book. The skill and insight of the various authors in this edited volume is breathtaking. They offer a clear and compelling guide to what AI means for translation and interpretation and take the reader into new vistas of studying Scripture in the emerging era of AI We can only imagine what Moses, David, the Gospel writers and the Apostle Paul would make of AI as a tool to “rightly divide their words of truth”. (2 Tim 2:15) But this pioneering multidisciplinary set of expert perspectives on what is possible through AI for broader engagement, faster yet better translation, and remarkable new interpretive insights, all give reason to believe the Biblical writers would be not only astonished but heartened. These essays model the theological and technological knowledge , imagination, respect and care vitally needed for this new epoch in engagement with God's great story for humanity This book is a scholarly conversation about AI and the Bible that's much deeper and more integrated than the reactions to ChatGPT that we saw a few years ago. It's critically rooted in history, deep yet accessible in technical details, theologically and philosophically provocative, and honestly engaging practical experience. Historical analysis of the printing press sits alongside statistical formulas, on-the-ground translation workflows, and fresh theological and interpretative questions-unified by the conviction that divine speech deserves all of our intelligence, both natural and artificial. I will be recommending this to my AI students and humanities colleagues alike
