The Gods Have Landed (SUNY Series in Religious Studies)

The respected psychoanalyst, Jung pointed out many years ago that we had lost the ability to believe in salvation through a deity. In this age of doubt, when miracles are scarce, where will we, as a race, find our salvation? The interdisciplinary essays in The Gods Have Landed attempt to answer this question by exploring the UFO sighting/abduction phenomenon as a 20th-century religious experience. Even if you don't believe that reports of UFO abduction are true, this book will prove fascinating to anyone with an interest in UFOlogy, sociology, psychology or religious studies.
