TheoSumma is a Scripture-rooted AI platform that lets Christians engage in theological conversation grounded in Bible verses, cross-references, and centuries of Christian scholarship — from Augustine and Aquinas to Barth and beyond.^1
Founded in Amman, Jordan, TheoSumma launched in 2023 as the first Christian AI platform in the MENA region. The app draws from tens of thousands of verified theological texts, commentaries, and historical manuscripts across 229+ specialized knowledge domains, spanning systematic theology, patristic exegesis, apologetics, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.^2 It's available on iOS, Android, and the web in 16+ languages — English, Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, Turkish, Chinese, Hindi, and more — making it one of the most globally accessible Christian AI tools available.^3
The core experience is free: users can ask theological questions, explore Bible passages with verse-level commentary, and engage AI-driven conversations with biblical figures and historical theologians. Paid tiers unlock the Expert model, speech-to-text, image recognition, and PDF analysis for deeper study.^4
What sets TheoSumma apart is its ethical seriousness. The platform publishes a 17-section Christian AI Ethics framework that affirms Scripture as "inspired, inerrant, and authoritative," commits to the grammatical-historical hermeneutic, upholds the Nicene, Apostles', and Chalcedonian creeds as settled orthodoxy, and explicitly positions AI as a servant — never an oracle.^5
Built by Dani Samarneh (CEO) and Bisharah Estephan (CTO) through their company The First Model in Jordan, TheoSumma has shipped 15+ updates in its first seven weeks on the app store, demonstrating rapid, active development.^6
