Ever picked up a bestselling Christian book — or hit play on a popular podcast — only to realize its theology doesn't quite line up with Scripture? TheoScope was built to solve that exact problem. It's an AI-powered discernment tool that instantly scores the media shaping your beliefs — books, podcasts, movies, and faith apps — on biblical faithfulness, theological depth, and doctrinal alignment, so you know what something teaches before it shapes your thinking.^1
Search by title or scan a book's barcode, and TheoScope returns a composite score (0–100) plus a full profile: where a title lands on the theological spectrum, its doctrinal positions, content flags, and audience-fit ratings for adults, youth, and children.^1 Books cover non-fiction, fiction, and Bible translations; podcasts get show-level and episode-by-episode scoring; movies are weighed for worldview and moral framework beyond the MPAA rating; and faith apps are rated for doctrinal soundness, spiritual value, and content safety.^1
Founded by Will Griffin, a pastor serving at Betty's Creek Baptist Church in North Georgia, TheoScope grew out of a burden to get the right resources into the right hands.^1 Griffin spent years wanting to vet everything his congregation read and watched but never had the hours to do it all. TheoScope gives pastors, parents, ministry leaders, and everyday readers instant theological insight without requiring a seminary degree.^1
The scoring engine is AI-generated and refined by community ratings from verified reviewers, creating a feedback loop that sharpens accuracy over time.^1 Every title is measured against the same rubric across traditions — Reformed, Arminian, Charismatic, Anglican, and more — scoring each on its own terms rather than flattening everything into one lens.^1
