Following in Robert's enthusiasm, I have another recommendation for a SciFi book, written by a former Biological (or Sociolinguistic) Anthropologist.
The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.
"The novel begins in the year 2019, when the SETI program, at the Arecibo Observatory, picks up radio broadcasts of music from the vicinity of Alpha Centauri. The first expedition to Rakhat, the world that is sending the music, is organized by the Jesuit order...." (Wiki introduction to book.)
