The Lost Sheep Research Fellowship is a collective intelligence network for theology

An Expedition into Theology

Theology is not the study of God as biology is the study of living beings, but more like psychology where the mind cannot be observed but is studied indirectly through artifacts. The mind leaves behind artifacts in behavior--what it tells the body to do--recorded by a doctor. Theology assumes the force that created our material existence left behind "fingerprints" to be discovered.

Media creation is intentional. We interpret media about the divine by examining its contextual relevance at the time of creation. The Lost Sheep Research Fellowship helps regular people experience this work in an online community. We welcome researchers from the BIG 4 (Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism) and smaller faith communities to discuss the content of their scriptures as universal human expressions about the divine.

We're Building a Database

Our goal is to capture as much theological knowledge in one database as possible, pair it with machine learning and AI to produce a public learning resource.

Data Libraries We Will Generate

Scans and photographs of original texts in NFT format with geolocation data for future updates. (for example, a scan of the Dead Sea Scrolls and coordinates 31°46'24"N 35°12'10"E to indicate the Shrine of the Book in Jerusalem)
Plain text digital copies and concordances of original language for hyperlinking
Existing commentaries and translations in various languages
User generated commentaries and translations based on hyperlinks
