Synopsis

*Advance Praise and Reviews*

“Delio’s work challenges us to rethink our relationship with the Earth and the cosmos in deeply spiritual ways.” ― Spirituality & Practice

In this bold new work, scientist and theologian Ilia Delio takes up the challenge of devising a rapprochement between science and religion, with particular attention to the role of Artificial Intelligence, or AI. If the “first axial age” gave rise to the great religions, she sees us now on the cusp of a “second axial age,” in which AI, oriented by new religious sensibilities, can bring about an ecological re-enchantment of the earth.
