Drawing on wide historical, scientific, and theological research, Dr. Parkyn advances the field of astrotheology significantly. His thesis that God would relate to extraterrestrial civilizations in a range of different ways, not necessarily through, or even on the pattern of, the life and death of Jesus, will come as a provocation to some and a relief to others. Compulsory reading for all those venturing into this new field. --Christopher Southgate, University of Exeter Parkyn makes a valuable contribution to the scholarship on a topic usually seen as sensational, while in itself fascinating. His choice of the 'varied view' for bringing salvation to extraterrestrials is well positioned within the historical debate over solutions. Readers will find the timeline given at the end of the book presents a welcome blend of cosmology and theology to guide their own conclusions. --Christopher Corbally, SJ, Vatican Observatory
