The prospect of encountering extraterrestrial intelligent life
raises important questions for religion and theology. Even if
an actual encounter with extraterrestrials never actually takes
place, or proves impractical, terrestrial religious thought
already has resources that can render intelligible and allow
us theologically to appreciate such an eventuality.
