The Sparrow was predominantly a story about a Jesuit priest named Emilio Sandoz over two timelines. The context in which The Sparrow was discussed in that Course finally tipped me over to pick it up. And then it was mentioned in the Great Course audiobook for How Great Science Fiction Works, which I’ve recently finished, under the sub-topic of ‘Religion in Science Fiction’. First was when a friend recommended it to me many years ago, but I’ve forgotten about it. I came across this title over two separate occasions. After reading it, I could understand why. The Sparrow is a multi-award-winning science fiction novel about first contact. “Matthew ten, verse twenty-nine: Not one sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.” Published: 20th anniversary edition, 2016 by Ballantine Books (first published in 1996)
