Author: Bobby Macintosh
Bobby Macintosh writes about where faith and technology meet. What began as curiosity about AI and well-crafted prompts became something deeper: a way of asking how these new tools can serve the careful, prayerful study of Scripture without replacing it. At aiprompttheory.com, Bobby explores AI through the lens of Christian theology, from practical guides for pastors and Bible students to harder questions about personhood, the image of God, and what wisdom looks like in an age of machines. He writes warmly and honestly, with sources you can check, and he's quick to say where the tools fall short. One of his favourite projects is [The Hyperlinked Book](https://aiprompttheory.com/bible), which draws every cross-reference in the Bible at once and shows how writers spread across fifteen centuries still speak to one another. Bobby's articles are written with the help of AI and shaped by human study, faith and judgement.
