A new way of storytelling sparks both interest and debate
The intersection of religion and technology is giving rise to new forms of digital communication. One of the most recent examples is AI Bible, a series of videos produced by Pray.com using artificial intelligence (AI), which has drawn millions of views across platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
Digital productions with wide reach
A video released on AI Bible’s official channel depicts scenes from the Book of Revelation through AI-generated visuals. The eight-minute production shows collapsing buildings, angels, and fantastical creatures, resembling both blockbuster films and video games. Since its release, it has gained more than 750,000 views, with most of the audience being younger and predominantly male.
Company representatives explain that the project aims to present content that resonates emotionally and spiritually with modern audiences, combining biblical narration with dynamic visuals. Currently, about two new videos are produced weekly, using multiple AI tools to create images and effects.
Divided opinions between enthusiasm and caution
While many viewers report feeling inspired to engage with the sacred texts, several scholars and theologians have voiced concerns. They argue that adapting scripture into action-driven entertainment could diminish the depth of its spiritual message.
Other experts, however, view these productions as a continuation of Christianity’s historical use of technology, from early bound books to the printing press. In this sense, AI becomes another medium for making the Bible accessible to contemporary audiences.
Between faith and digital entertainment
The discussion remains open: are these videos an effective way to communicate biblical stories in a language adapted to the digital age, or do they risk trivializing religious content? What is clear is that the use of artificial intelligence in spiritual storytelling is emerging as a trend likely to expand, sparking debate both within and beyond faith communities.
