Understanding Robotic Futurism - Joshua K. Smith


Listen Later

“At last, a much-needed book on a neglected topic. Robotics is playing an increasingly important role in our society, and yet little has been written from an overtly Christian perspective. Robot Theology corrects that oversight in a timely and highly engaging manner.”

Josh serves as the Senior Pastor of a Southern Baptist Church in Mississippi.

He is a graduate of William Carey University, where he earned a B.A. in Religion. He holds an M.T.S from Gateway Theological Seminary. He is a recent graduate of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, where he earned a Ph.D. in Theology. His dissertation focused on a critique of Robotic Futurism and the potential of Dehumanization.

He is currently working on his third book On Violent Technologies with Trivent Publishing.

Focus of Research includes:

  • Theological Anthropology
  • Ethics of War
  • The Nature of Technology
  • Personhood
  • Jurisprudence
  • Christian Ethics
  • Metaphysics
  • Philosophy of Mind
