God, AI and the End of History: Understanding the Book of Revelation in an Age of Intelligent Machines
Are Artificial Intelligences the Future's False Gods?
In God, AI, and the End of History, renowned author and Oxford mathematician John Lennox explores the explosive intersection of artificial intelligence, biblical prophecy, the Antichrist, and the end times.
As Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology advances at an unprecedented pace, many experts are Could AI - or Artificial Super Intelligences (ASI) - one day dominate the world?
Unlike other books on AI or biblical prophecy, Lennox breaks new ground by connecting the rise of superintelligent machines with the apocalyptic visions recorded in Revelation. He warns that future developments in AI could deceive billions - just as foretold in Scripture - engineered by the one Jesus called "the father of lies," and whom the apostle John identified as "the Antichrist."
This compelling, deeply researched book offers a unique Christian perspective on AI, ethics, and eschatology, challenging readers to rethink how Jesus' final message to his followers may speak directly to our rapidly changing technological world.
If you're questioning AI and curious about what the Bible, prophecy, and emerging technologies reveal about end-time events, this is the essential guide you've been waiting for.

It is impressive how John Lennox presents his in-depth knowledge in an easy to understand book for readers. Recommended as a fascinating and informative read on the book of Revelation.

I really enjoyed reading "God, AI & The End of History." It provided insights into AI and scholarly quotes to help me make points I hadn't previously considered. Dr Lennox takes his time, elaborating on exegesis and how he has come to his ideas, and uses not only biblical sources but also historical references, including the Church Fathers. I think anyone of any faith tradition could read this book and come away enriched and better for the time spent on it, as well as with insights into possible dangers in society presently and to come.

Compelling, inspiring, and readable. It took me ages to read so I'm not convinced of its devotional potential; perhaps a smaller volume, encompassing select readings might suit the purpose better. There was rather too much C S Lewis for my liking and reading for hours on end the latter have made me, at times, overwhelmed and depressed, but that's not the book's fault. Good.
