When We Make Machines Our Gods

When We Make Machines Our Gods is a penetrating examination of artificial intelligence at the point where technology collides with moral order. Drawing on Scripture, philosophy, and the lessons of history, Jim Lanshe, PhD, argues that the crisis of our age is not technological but spiritual - a collapse of the moral foundations that once anchored Western life.From the rise of algorithmic authority to the erosion of wisdom in public institutions, Lanshe reveals how modern culture has embraced speed, efficiency, and autonomy while neglecting the virtues that sustain a free society. With clarity and prophetic insight, he warns that a civilization cannot outsource moral judgment to code without losing something essential the human soul.Yet this is not a pessimistic book. When We Make Machines Our Gods calls readers to restore the eternal principles that give life meaning: truth, covenant, responsibility, and transcendence. It is a summons to rebuild what has been forgotten and to chart a wiser, more humane path for the age of artificial intelligence.
