Astrobiology and Christian Doctrine : Exploring the Implications of Life in the Universe

---

Outline: In recent decades, powerful telescopes have enabled astrophysicists to uncover startling new worlds and solar systems. An epochal moment took place in 1995, when an exoplanet - 51 Pegasi b - was located orbiting another star like our sun. This discovery profoundly changed perceptions of the universe. Since then, thousands of planets have followed. These astounding findings have transformed understandings of the cosmos and have prompted speculation about the potential for extraterrestrial life. Drawing particularly on Thomas Aquinas, Andrew Davison considers a succession of fascinating questions that challenge Christianity's traditional focus on earth and human beings. Does the possibility of life elsewhere compromise human value? Would other creatures be subject to the same story of sin and redemption? Might God be incarnate elsewhere? Thinking about these topics helps Christians to prepare for the possibility that other life has been detected. By approaching familiar themes from new angles, Davidson's volume stretches and enriches our existing theology.
