Winner of the 2025 Australian Christian Book of the Year Award.
Artificial intelligence is coming. And this tech revolution, perhaps more than any such revolution that’s gone before, will change the world. No life will be left untouched.
How do Christians navigate their way through these momentous changes? What does Christianity have to say about this brave new world? What will living for Jesus look like in a world where humans, made in God’s image, coexist with intelligent machines made in our image?
Author, pastor and self-confessed ‘tech realist’ Stephen Driscoll sets out to answer those questions with a deep dive into the intersection of faith and technology. Avoiding the extremes of both the tech worshippers and the ‘doomers’, Driscoll offers accessible and illuminating insights into the nature of AI, along with practical tips on how Christians might use this technology for good. Most of all, he shows how the deepest structures of biblical thought will equip Christians to live with AI.
This book is a must-read for tech-savvy optimists and sceptics alike.
Stephen Driscoll studied at Moore College, The University of Sydney, and the University of NSW, and has worked for the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students and in investing roles with a few banks. He loves training and teaching students and ministry apprentices from the Bible about all sorts of topics. He is married to Lauren, and they have two young children.
Emergent large-language model AI will be one of the most disruptive technological developments in the history of humanity. In Made in Our Image, Stephen Driscoll does not take a simplistic proof-texting or moralistic approach, but shows how the deep structures of biblical thought and the unfolding of redemption history equip us for this disruption. Driscoll is masterful in bringing together theology, science, history, economics, sociology, politics and ethics. At the same time, Made in Our Image is very approachable for the non-academic. An exceptional and important book.

Sometimes the right book comes along at the right time. Stephen Driscoll’s Made in Our Image is just such a book. Filled with awareness of the topic, the book engages richly with timeless biblical truth to chart a way forward in responding to a complex issue in a way that will honour Jesus and love others. If you’re looking for a biblically informed and technologically aware response to an issue that is shaping our world right now, this book should be at the very top of your list.

The rise of AI technology has enormous implications for all of us—not only for how we live and work, but also for how we understand what it means to be human. Christians need to be equipped to grasp the issues and to navigate the waters ahead. In this book, Stephen Driscoll provides us with a highly valuable resource for doing just that. He describes the nature of the technology in an accessible but highly informative way, insightfully outlines the challenges the technology raises for us, and then applies a deeply biblical framework—creation, sin, the cross of Jesus Christ, and new creation—to help us address these challenges. The book is biblical and practical, full of insights into many ways the gospel of the Lord Jesus shows us how to live in light of this increasingly pervasive technology.
—Lionel Windsor, New Testament Lecturer, Moore Theological College, Sydney; Author, Truth Be Told and Gospel Speech Online
Stephen Driscoll is no empty-headed Pollyanna, mindlessly praising technology in all its forms. But neither is he a panicked Chicken Little, shrieking at us to go churn our own butter. Instead, this book is nuanced and careful. But don’t think that makes it boring. Made in Our Image is interesting. But more than that, it’s important, and it will make you think. It’s a book about theology as much as it is about technology.
—Craig Hamilton, Senior Minister, Pitt Town Church, Sydney; Author, Made Man and Wisdom in Leadership
Excellent
This book will probably be a revelation for older readers and also for youth. A1 is with us and will be looking to control us perhaps. Stephen Driscoll writes clearly from a wealth of knowledge in different fields, reviewing the history of AI and the direction in which it is developing. His theological reflections and integrations give perspective perspective for the thoughtful Christan reader.
Excellent
Really enjoyed this read. Driscoll’s insights help to see beyond the statements of hype regarding AI and provide a God-shaped approach to technology.
A really accessible overview of where we are with AI — and an exploration of some of the theological issues that AI raises/intersects with. Stephen is accessible, well-read, thoughtful, and laugh-out-loud funny. A superb book as well as an important one.
