‘This innovative and immensely readable work is easily the best introduction currently available to the theological questions raised by the possibility of extraterrestrial life. It offers both a critical analysis of issues such as multiple incarnations and a constructive response to them, deeply rooted in the Christian tradition.’
Alister McGrath - Senior Research Fellow, Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion, & Emeritus Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion, University of Oxford
‘If you feel that religion has nothing to tell us about the space-age challenges we face, you may be surprised to learn that theologians have been writing about life beyond Earth for nearly six centuries. Read this book and let Andrew Davison be your guide to the thousands of years of thinking about our place in the universe. From Plato through ‘The Force’, he illuminates the issues and arguments with clarity and humour. This is a must-read.’
William D. Barry - Ph.D., NASA Chief Historian, retired
‘… a very readable, informative, and, indeed, theologically exciting book … a magnificently fair, informative, trustworthy, and mind-expanding work of theology, surely a modern classic in the field.'

‘… I believe that Davison makes a strong case for the multiple incarnation position. [His book] provides us with a mini-systematic theology that addresses God, creation, fall, sin, Christology, and even eschatology … I commend Professor Davison for tackling the implications of astrobiology in this fashion.'
