It is easy to assume that discussions about extraterrestrial life belong entirely to the modern era. It’s no wonder people are often surprised to learn that Christians have been seriously thinking about these questions far longer than most of us realize. Long before telescopes, space exploration, and modern science fiction, Christian thinkers were already wrestling with the possibility that God’s creative activity might extend beyond the world we know.

Political Witness and the Way of Jesus Part 2: Assimilation, Fortification, or Incarnation?
Citizens of God’s Kingdom are intended to be present in addressing socio-political issues of poverty, injustice, hunger, other issues, while also being present to address real spiritual bondage, and the freedom and flourishing available in Jesus.
