:
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 asking: 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.

Review quote:
“Secular historians have described the book of Revelation as the greatest anti-imperialist tract ever written. But Christians have seen other things. John Lennox is bi-lingual. As a mathematician he understands the language of God as expressed in the universe”s maths and physics. As a biblical scholar he expounds the language of God, placing Revelation in the context of the whole of Scripture. This is a magnificent contribution on both fronts.”

Review quote:
“John Lennox skilfully weaves together the academic and the practical with the result that his commentary is both highly informative and eminently devotional. The reader is in for a very engaging study of Revelation designed to lead to the worship the Triune God as Creator and Redeemer and to heighten one’s desire for the Son”s return to establish his kingdom in righteousness.”

Review quote:

Review quote:
“I read everything John Lennox writes because of his amazing blend of rigorous scholarship with practical insights and applications for all of us.”
