Description

Teaching Theologically in the Age of AI: A Bloom’s Taxonomy Approach for Graduate Seminaries

How can seminary educators form wise, faithful, and critically engaged Christian leaders in a world transformed by artificial intelligence? In this timely and theologically rich guide, Teaching Theologically in the Age of AI explores how emerging technologies can be integrated with classical pedagogical frameworks to deepen formation rather than dilute it.

Rooted in Bloom’s Taxonomy and grounded in the practices of graduate theological education, this book equips professors, instructional designers, and ministry leaders with tools, strategies, and theological insight for navigating AI-enhanced teaching and learning. From AI-assisted pastoral simulations to ethical considerations around authorship, this work models a pedagogy that is both technologically responsive and spiritually grounded.

Whether you are rethinking your syllabus, experimenting with flipped classrooms, or wondering how AI fits into spiritual formation, this book offers a thoughtful roadmap for designing courses that are both intellectually rigorous and theologically faithful.
