From the Council of Nicaea to the Age of AI: What kind of human did Jesus become?

The Council of Nicaea is significant in Christian theology as it debated the primacy of Jesus, which included the nature of Jesus’ humanity. To consider Jesus’ humanity, a certain understanding of what it means to be human must be employed. This article explores the evolving understanding of our humanity, considering the emergence of AI technology (and its impact on our selfunderstanding).Do the arguments for Jesus’ humanity still hold when measured against the current understandings of being human?

Abstract

The Council of Nicaea is significant in Christian theology as it debated the primacy of Jesus, which included the nature of Jesus’ humanity. To consider Jesus’ humanity, a certain understanding of what it means to be human must be employed. This article explores the evolving understanding of our humanity, considering the emergence of AI technology (and its impact on our selfunderstanding).Do the arguments for Jesus’ humanity still hold when measured against the current understandings of being human?
