Religion and Outer Space examines religion in and on the final
frontier. This book offers a first-of-its-kind roadmap for thinking
about complex encounters of religion and outer space. A
multidisciplinary group of scholarly experts takes up some of the
most intriguing scientific, spiritual, trade/commercial, and even
military dimensions of the complex entanglements of religion and
outer space. Attending to the historical reality that the
interconnections between religion and the heavens are as old as
religions themselves, the volume starts with an examination of
"outer space" elements in the most sacred writings of the world's
religions. It then explores some of the religious questions
inevitable in this encounter, analyzing cultural constructions
(both literary and actual) of religion and outer space. It ends
with examinations of the role of religion in the very real and very
present business of space exploration. What might motivate the
spread of religion (or at least fantasies of religion in its myriad
possibilities) into new interior and exterior dimensions of the
cosmos? Only the future will tell. Religion and Outer Space is
essential reading for students and academics with an interest in
religion and space, religion and science, space exploration,
religion and science fiction, popular culture, and religion in
America.
