A Christian theological interpretation of the border reality is a
neglected area of immigration study. The foremost contribution of A
Promised Land, A Perilous Journey is its focus on the theological
dimension of migration, beginning with the humanity of the
immigrant, a child of God and a bearer of his image. The nineteen
authors in this collection recognize that one characteristic of
globalization is the movement not only of goods and ideas but also
of people. The crossing of geographical borders confronts
Christians, as well as all citizens, with choices: between national
security and human insecurity, between sovereign national rights
and human rights, between citizenship and discipleship. Bearing
these global dimensions in mind, the essays in this book focus on
the particular problems of immigration across the U.S.-Mexico
border. The contributors to this volume include scholars as well as
pastors and lay people involved in immigration aid work.
