Christians at the Border: Immigration, the Church, and the Bible

Christians at the Border: Immigration, the Church, and the Bible Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Immigration is one of the most pressing issues on the national agenda. This accessible book provides biblical and ethical guidance for readers who are looking for a Christian perspective on the immigration issue. As both a Guatemalan and an American, the author has immersed himself in this issue and is uniquely qualified to write about it. Drawing on key biblical ideas, he speaks to both the immigrant culture and the host culture, arguing that both sides have much to learn about the debate. This timely, clear, and compassionate resource will benefit all Christians who are thinking through the immigration issue.

Review:

"This well-argued and carefully researched study draws on biblical precedent to construct a viable Christian ethic on contemporary immigration. Carroll, an Old Testament scholar who is half Guatemalan and who teaches at a Guatemalan seminary as well as one in Denver, focuses primarily on Hispanic immigration to the U.S. in his examples, though the theological discussions are applicable on a broad intercultural level. He explores biblical notions of the responsibility an ancient society had to assist sojourners and those in exile, attempting to move today's discourse about immigration away from political and racial ideology toward what he hopes is 'a divine viewpoint.' Though Carroll's approach is substantive, even scholarly, the book is surprisingly accessible in language and tone." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

Hispanic Old Testament scholar Daniel Carroll brings biblical theology to bear creatively on the current immigration conversation with an eye to correcting assumptions on both sides of the issue.
