But beneath that question lies a serious theological conversation about creation, humanity, the incarnation, redemption, and the authority of Christ's commands to His church.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this thoughtful and accessible book, Nathan Morton explores believer's baptism through one of the most provocative hypothetical questions modern Christians could ask. If intelligent extraterrestrial life were ever discovered, would such beings be made in the image of God? Would they be fallen? Would they need redemption? Could the saving work of Christ apply to them? And if one of them professed faith in Jesus Christ, could, or should, the church baptize them?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than drifting into speculation or sensationalism, Would You Baptize an Alien? uses the question as a doorway into deeper biblical reflection. Drawing from Scripture, Baptist theology, historical Christian thought, and contemporary discussions about the cosmos, this book invites readers to consider the greatness of Christ, the uniqueness of humanity, and the boundless sovereignty of the God who created the heavens and the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a book about aliens as much as it is a book about the gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is about the meaning of baptism, the authority of Scripture, the scope of redemption, and the glory of the One through whom and for whom all things were made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe universe may be larger than we imagined.
