With respect to the analysis of the extraterrestrial race, K. Raphael B. Basisa, in his book “Extraterrestrial Legacies of God, Jesus, and the Angels," employs a fascinating method in a theistic sense. To consider an alternative notion, it raises the question of how possible it is for there to be verses such as the ones in the Bible and other scriptures that speak about the existence of other races. The author tackles a rather large subject, with a perspective that challenges the ways in which people perceive the almighty and the universe.

The coherent unity of the book does permit one to advance well in such areas as ufology, religious studies, and history. Many historians, for instance, B. Basisa, use this or that religious “source” to “convince” their readers that the given events indeed took place. Making use of such a technique helps to ground the discussions into reality. The same can be said about the author’s views: they invariably foreshadow a larger picture. For which reason the reader can be perplexed by the narrative.

Though peering through the prism of circumstances allows one to appreciate the nature of its analysis, the book contains some shortcomings worth mentioning for the sake of the objectives of the study. It is understandable, therefore, that some discussions often appear a little too ‘theoretical’ in nature given the many hypotheses that are made and the amount of pertinent evidence, even if available, may be inadequate to sufficiently buttress the assertive claims made. This simply leads readers to query most of the linkages made in the course of the writing. However, the text does contain much substance in the form of prose, which due to the lack of an audience that shares the faith may prove rather tedious for the reader. This means, perhaps, that general readers will benefit if the writing is pitched at a lower, rather than a higher, level of language.

In the given case of the book, it is apparent that it has undergone basic editing; hence, egregious typographic errors or grammatical slips are absent. This degree of professionalism is quite useful and does not add anything to the verge of distraction while reading content.

In this way, let me say that this book, entitled “Extraterrestrial Legacies of God, Jesus, and the Angels," is also dedicated to the idea of religious comprehension of extraterrestrial existence. However, this invites a number of fascinating issues, slow as its underlying assumptions may be seen as leaping; as such, readers are likely to be bewildered by its heavily academic language and self-evidently stubborn argumentation. More specifically, I rate this work 4 out of 5. In short, the author comes up with rather grand concepts that are fun and interesting; however, they often lack clarity and, even more so, lack support. All in all, it is an interesting read for those who are interested in theology or more of universal mysteries.
