Jesus Christus, Erbe der Astronauten (1973 book)

Jesus Christus, Erbe der Astronauten (English: Jesus Christ, Heir to the Astronauts) is a German-language book by Gerhard Rudolf Steinhäuser, in which the author proposes that the world's religions were inspired by extraterrestrial visitations, focusing in particular on the Christian faith, attributed to Paul the Apostle's understandings of the ancient myths regarding such beings and human re-interpretations of their technological wonders. The first German edition was published in 1973 by Kremayr & Scheriau (Wien), with an English translation by Susanne Flatauer published for Anglo-American readers in 1974 by Abelard-Schuman (London & New York).
