About this book

Living with Tiny Aliens imagines in theological terms how an individuals’ meaningful existence persists within a cosmos pregnant with living-possibilities. In doing so, it works to articulate an astrobiological humanities.
A work of theology that engages closely with scientific work in astrobiology to explore what discoveries about interplanetary life might do to Christian theology.

Reviews

Ted Peters, co-editor, Theology and Science:
“God’s light is not reflected but rather refracted among those who bear the divine image on Earth. What about God’s image on other planets and moons, those simple microbes? Adam Pryor is unique in exploring the theological implications of tiny aliens.”

Gaymon Bennett, Arizona State University:
Living with Tiny Aliens makes substantial contributions to literature at the interface of science, theology, and the Anthropocene. By rethinking the human as a living being whose vitality is dependent on its place in a planetary milieu, he is able to enrich the notion of the imago Dei by expanding the ontological limits of Anthropos.”
