This collection brings together legal scholars and Christian
theologians for an interdisciplinary conversation responding to the
challenges of global migration. Gathering 14 leading scholars from
both law and Christian theology, the book covers legal
perspectives, theological perspectives, and key concepts in
migration studies. In Part 1, scholars of migration law and policy
discuss the legal landscape of migration at both the domestic and
international level. In Part 2, Christian theologians, ethicists,
and biblical scholars draw on the resources of the Christian
tradition to think about migration. In Part 3, each chapter is
co-authored by a scholar of law and a scholar of Christian
theology, who bring their respective resources and perspectives
into conversation on key themes within migration studies. The work
provides a truly interdisciplinary introduction to the topic of
migration for those who are new to the subject; an opportunity for
immigration lawyers and legal scholars to engage Christian
theology; an opportunity for pastors and Christian theologians to
engage law; and new insights on key frameworks for scholars who are
already committed to the study of migration.
