Eric Sammons is the editor-in-chief of Crisis Magazine and host of the Crisis Point podcast. He writes and speaks at the intersection of Catholicism, technology, and economics, from artificial intelligence to bitcoin.
Sammons worked for more than fifteen years in the software development field, including ten years leading his own software firm. He holds a degree in systems analysis with a concentration in economics from Miami University in Ohio, as well as a master’s degree in theology from Franciscan University of Steubenville. He spent five years as director of evangelization for the Diocese of Venice in Florida.
An early adopter of bitcoin, Sammons wrote Bitcoin Basics: 101 Questions and Answers (Saragossa Press) in 2015 and has written for Bitcoin.com. His book Moral Money: The Case for Bitcoin (Sophia Institute Press, 2025) argues that bitcoin is the most moral money ever created.
Sammons is the author of twelve books. His newest, The Catholic Guide to Artificial Intelligence (Sophia Institute Press, 2026), shows readers how to engage AI with wisdom, clarity, and an intentional Catholic vision. His debut novel, Shard of Eden (Saragossa Press, 2025), draws on his long fascination with the deeper implications of technological advances like artificial intelligence; he is a lifelong science fiction fan. He has contributed hundreds of articles to websites including Catholic Answers, OnePeterFive, Crisis Magazine, and The Federalist.
