Cedarville University authors John Delano and Alina Leo will help Christians navigate artificial intelligence with discernment, integrity, and faith.
COLUMBUS, Ohio - OhioPen -- Ethos Academic, the publishing initiative established through Cedarville University's partnership with Igniting Souls, announces its first publishing contract, awarded to Dr. John Delano and Alina Leo for their forthcoming book, working title: Engaging AI with Biblical Wisdom.
The milestone advances Ethos Academic's mission to help faculty transform research, teaching, and original ideas into professionally published books that extend their influence and Kingdom impact. The initiative provides editorial, design, publishing, distribution, and intellectual property protection support.
Delano and Leo's book addresses a growing question for Christians: How can we benefit from artificial intelligence while preserving the judgment, responsibility, relationships, and character that faithful living requires?
Written primarily for everyday church members, the book assumes no technical background. It offers a biblical framework for evaluating AI use in the household, workplace, and church, helping readers make wise decisions as technologies continue to change.

At its center is ENGAGE, a framework translating six virtues drawn from Philippians 4:8 into six dimensions of Christian conduct: Exact, Noble, Genuine, Admirable, Gracious, and Exemplary. These characteristics guide readers through questions involving truth, self-representation, responsibility, relationships, speech, and example.
The authors examine AI within the biblical story of creation, fall, redemption, and restoration. They also explore a central distinction: when technology removes an unnecessary burden, and when it removes work through which God develops understanding, judgment, love, skill, and Christlike character.
Cedarville President Dr. Thomas White approved sponsorship of the project in August, affirming its potential to serve readers navigating these questions.
Cedarville is thrilled to partner with these two excellent professors," White commented. "Cedarville desires to lead the way in adopting AI in every degree to prepare students for the future demands of the marketplace. This book will help us accomplish our goal of developing biblically faithful servant-leaders equipped to engage AI with skill and discernment."

The project grew from the authors' classroom work and scholarship, received support through a Faculty VPA grant, and was introduced to the university community in Cedarville Magazine. Cedarville has also recognized Delano and Leo's research on ethical AI integration, including national recognition from the Christian Business Faculty Association.
The anticipated manuscript is targeted for complettion for no later than July 2027. For Ethos Academic, this first contract demonstrates how faculty expertise can move beyond the classroom to serve families, professionals, and churches facing consequential decisions.
