"The Handbook of UFO Religions, edited by esteemed scholar of new religions Benjamin
E. Zeller, offers the most expansive and detailed study of the persistent, popular,
and global phenomenon of religious engagements with ideas about extraterrestrial life.
The present work considers not only new religions founded on ideas about extraterrestrials
and UFOs, but how those within more mainstream religions have responded to the science,
scientific speculation, and popular culture involving extraterrestrials, UFOs, and
related concepts. Global in reach, it includes chapters considering South and East
Asia, Europe, and North and South America, and draws on several interdisciplinary
methods. In addition, the handbook traces connections between UFO religiosity and
cultural patterns such as science and scientism, esoterism and occultism, millennialism,
and popular culture. Contributors are: Rafael Antunes Almeida, W. Michael Ashcraft,
Stefano Bigliardi, Susannah Crockford, George D. Chryssides, Carole M. Cusack, Regis
Dericquebourg, Holly Folk, David J. Halperin, Olav Hammer, Kelly E. Hayes, Joseph
P. Laycock , Layne Little, Paul O. Myhre, Erik A. W. Östling, Susan J. Palmer, Lukas
