General questions and interesting topics for people who may not
have read the book (useful for professors, speakers and clergy
to get people to think about the universal nature of religion, the
idea of Jesus beyond Earth, and the future of religious beliefs)

  • What kind of spiritual message will resonate in the future?

  • What if a religious preacher was discovered on another planet?  
    What would be his teachings?

  • What will the role of religion and faith play in our lives of tomorrow?

  • As we evolve as beings, will be become more enlightened?  Will
    we become more or less religious?

  • How would people react if Jesus were to appear again?  On
    Earth?  Elsewhere on another planet?  How do you think these
    reactions compare to how people reacted 2000 years ago?

  • If you woke up one day in the past, or in the future on another
    planet, and you saw the entire story of Jesus unfolding, what
    would you do?


Discussion topics for those who have read the book (useful for
book clubs, retreats, religious discussion groups)

  • How will God appear in the universe?

  • If you heard that Jesus had been discovered on another planet,
    how would you respond?  Would you believe he is really Jesus
    Christ?  

  • If you woke up one day in the past, or in the future somewhere and
    you saw the entire story of Jesus unfolding, what would you do?

  • Can one person really serve as a catalyst to change the course of
    science and history?

  • Must there be some analog to original sin before Jesus would
    appear on another planet?

  • Will God use the same words to speak to beings everywhere in
    the Universe? Why or why not?

  • What parallels are there between the teachings of Jesus of K’
    Turia and the Gospels?

  • Do you think the theme of “sacrifice” as it is described in the story
    is consistent with Christian teachings?  Why or why not?  What
    specific Biblical references can you think of to support your point
    of view?

    to decide how they will act in life in order to find God?
