Taken from The Illustrated Man collection (Flamingo) - which may be the finest collection of short stories out there - this is a moving and masterful vignette based upon two lines in Psalm 139: “Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there.” Captain Hart and his rocket crew are colonising the universe in the name of human progress. Landing on a new planet, they find the inhabitants uncommonly disinterested in their arrival. The reason: they have just received the Messiah. Captain Hart refuses to believe the testimony and sets off across the galaxy to track down this suspected fraud. But ‘The Man’ never left. He was there the whole time, ready to be received. Bradbury’s displacement of humanity into future space frames the beauty of the incarnation wonderfully. Though the application of the gospel may look different to alternative cultures, there is no corner of the universe where Christ cannot offer redemption.
