Publisher's Synopsis
From the dawn of creation, the serpent's whispered lie--"ye shall be as gods"--has echoed through history, and today it manifests itself in the growing transhumanist movement.
Our world stands at a crossroads with commercial surrogacy, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and "gender-affirming care" threatening to radically reshape human nature. Will we stand firm on ancient wisdom or risk losing our humanity altogether? Grayson Quay deftly overturns the lies of transhumanism and cautions readers about the dystopian brave new world that has already arrived and will only get worse. And yet, he argues, transhumanism has more to do with philosophy than technology. The seeds of transhumanism were all there in the various isms of centuries past, but, under the harsh light of twenty-first-century science, they're growing as never before. In an era in which technology offers us the power to redefine what it means to be human, The Transhumanist Temptation presents a bold and urgent clarion call to revisit, embrace, and transmit the natural law. In these harrowing pages, you will find:- The origin of the transhumanist movement (You will be shocked!)
- Whether Christianity and transhumanism are compatible
- How the loss of the supernatural spurs us to reinvent ourselves
- The role of politics in propagating transhumanism
- Ways to escape the danger of becoming a discarnate being
Drawing from Scripture, philosophy, literature, cutting-edge science, and technology experts, this book unveils, in rich detail, the hidden and alarming spiritual threat that transhumanism poses. It explores how this ideology distorts our relationship with our own bodies, with the world around us, with our politics, with our work, and ultimately, with God Himself.
For those seeking to understand and resist the posthumanist tide, Quay offers a compelling defense of our God-given dignity and urges us to reclaim what it truly means to be human in an age of unprecedented radical change. Will we heed the warning, or will we fall for the serpent's promise once more?
