BOOK DESCRIPTION
Modern society trusts analysis, science, and technological innovation to explain nearly everything and improve the human condition. But what happens when the means created to serve humanity become ends in themselves—and humanity becomes the servant?
Analysis Kills brings together two decades of theological lectures, correspondence, and thought journals by Lawrence J. Terlizzese. The opening lectures examine the foundations of Christian theology: divine revelation, biblical authority, criticism, hermeneutics, inerrancy, inspiration, theological sources, and the formation of the biblical canon. Throughout these studies, Terlizzese defends Scripture as the final authority while confronting the intellectual systems that seek to subordinate revelation to reason, experience, tradition, or culture.
The discussion then turns to one of the most neglected subjects in contemporary theology: the philosophy of technology. Drawing upon major Christian thinkers and critics of technological society, Terlizzese challenges the popular belief that technology is morally neutral. He examines how efficiency, quantification, mass media, propaganda, technological dependence, artificial intelligence, and transhumanism can reshape human values and reduce persons to instruments within an expanding system.
Provocative, wide-ranging, and deliberately confrontational, Analysis Kills asks whether modern civilization has confused knowledge with wisdom, power with progress, and technique with truth. It calls Christians to evaluate theology, culture, and technological advancement according to biblical revelation rather than the unquestioned assumptions of the modern world.
