Abstract

Transhumanism and the Image of God by Jacob Shatzer, Associate Professor of Theological Studies at Union University, is a book published in 2019 by IVP Academic. It’s a book that appeals to a variety of readers, from philosophers and theologians to those working in the field of technology. The vision of transhumanism is one that has captured the imagination of many in areas like artificial intelligence, robotics, and medical technology. I found this book to be a thoughtful and helpful reminder of what it means to be human and how certain technologies can unwittingly change our notions of place, self, and relationships. I’m delighted that Jacob was kind enough to take a little time to talk about the transhumanist movement and how we can better discern the proper place for technology.
