In recent decades, powerful telescopes have enabled astrophysicists
to uncover startling new worlds and solar systems. An epochal
moment came in 1995, when a planet – 51 Pegasi b – was located
orbiting a star other than our own sun. Since then, thousands of
new planets have followed, and the question of life beyond earth
has become one of the principal topics in discussions between
science and religion. Attention to this topic has a long history in
Christian theology, but has rarely been pursued at any depth.
Writing with both passion and precision, Andrew Davison brings his
extensive knowledge of Christian thought to bear, drawing
particularly on the thought of Thomas Aquinas, as well as his
training as a scientist. No book to date better prepares the
Christian community for responding to evidence of other life, if it
is found. And yet, we do not need to wait for that to have happened
before this book shows its worth. In thinking about planets,
creatures, and ecosystems beyond our planet, Davison already
reinvigorates our theology for the earth.
