The Machine In The Mirror: What An Ai-Created Religion Reveals About Spirit-Empowered Ministry, Todd J. Korpi

Spiritus: ORU Journal of Theology

Spirit-empowered ministers face questions about how artificial intelligence is shaping the people they serve.

Spiritus: ORU Journal of Theology

This article argues that the contemporary crisis of Pentecostal preaching is fundamentally pneumatological before it is homiletical. Digital technology has not merely altered the methods of pastoral communication; it has restructured the very conditions in which pastoral authority is formed, exercised, and received. Drawing on Ray S.
