When the Word Becomes Flesh
Organized Religion, Artificial Intelligence, and the Primordial Test of Life-CoherenceBy Dr.Bichara Sahely
Length48m
About this audiobook
When the Word Becomes Flesh asks a simple but urgent question: what way of living do our institutions conserve? In response to Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas, Dr. Bichara Sahely offers a life-coherent reflection on organized religion, artificial intelligence, and the danger of systems that detach word, code, doctrine, or power from embodied life. Drawing on Humberto Maturana’s biology of love, the audiobook contrasts Babel—control without communion—with Nehemiah—shared repair in living relation. Religion becomes life-coherent when word becomes flesh as mercy, justice, repentance, and communion. Technology becomes life-coherent when code remains answerable to human dignity, truth, work, freedom, and the common good. A timely meditation on AI, institutional repentance, digital colonialism, and the civilization of love.
