In doing so, it works to articulate an astrobiological humanities.\u003cbr\u003e Working with a series of specific examples drawn from the study of extraterrestrial life, doctrinal reflection on the imago Dei, and reflections on the Anthropocene, Pryor reframes how human beings meaningfully dwell in the world and belong to it. To take seriously the geological significance of human agency is to understand the Earth as not only a living planet but an artful one. Consequently, Pryor reframes the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e, rendering it a planetary system that opens up new possibilities for the flourishing of all creation by fostering technobiogeochemical cycles not subject to runaway, positive feedback. Such an account ensures the \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e is not something any one of us possesses, but that it is a symbol for what we live into together as a species in intra-action with the wider habitable environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: Being in Outer Space   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1\u003c\/b\u003e Exoplanets and Icy Moons and Mars, Oh My!   15\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2\u003c\/b\u003e Astrobiology's Intra-Active Aliens   32\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3\u003c\/b\u003e Being a Living-System   46\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4\u003c\/b\u003e The \u003ci\u003eimago Dei\u003c\/i\u003e as a Refractive Symbol   62\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eConceptualizing Nature   86\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e6 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Anthropocene as Planetarity in Deep Time   104\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e7 \u003c\/b\u003eAn Artful Planet   128\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e8 \u003c\/b\u003eLiving-Into Presence, Wonder, and Play   146\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003ci\u003eAd Astra Per Aspera\u003c\/i\u003e   188\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e   201\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes\u003c\/i\u003e   203\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography\u003c\/i\u003e   241\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e   263\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52580424646936,"sku":"9780823288311","price":88.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/living-with-tiny-aliens-the-image-of-god-for-the-anthropocene-hardback-9780823288311","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
