From Black church editor Haleluya Hadero: I got an emailed pitch from journalist Caleb Gayle about his new book, which focuses on a Black politician named Edward McCabe who sought to establish an all-Black state in Oklahoma following the American Civil War. It was interesting to read about McCabe’s work. It’s not clear whether he was a Christian, but he used biblical motifs—including the story of the Exodus—to advocate for his vision. |

Around the same time, Christian reformers like Elizabeth Rous Comstock and Laura Haviland were working in a neighboring state, Kansas, to respond to formerly enslaved Americans who were migrating to the state. |

We often associate America’s westward expansion with rugged individualism, but Gayle paints a broader picture and shows how these individuals helped build the American West. |

As developments in artificial intelligence change daily, we’re increasingly asking what makes humanity different from the machines we use. In this issue, Emily Belz introduces us to tech workers on the frontlines of AI development, Harvest Prude explains how algorithms affect Christian courtship, and Miroslav Volf writes on the transhumanist question. Several writers call our attention to the gifts of being human: Haejin and Makoto Fujimura point us to beauty and justice, Kelly Kapic reminds us God’s highest purpose isn’t efficiency, and Jen Pollock Michel writes on the effects of Alzheimer’s . We bring together futurists, theologians, artists, practitioners, and professors to consider how technology shapes us even as we use it. |
