Global Migration and Christian Faith

Evangelism & Missions

“This book . . . does much to provide clarity by reading the signs of our times in the light of the breadth and depth of our history, our sacred texts and traditions. The authors—who offer insights from across the spectrum of Christianity—challenge us to consider how the complex and urgent realities of people on the move must make us rethink who we are as Christians and what we are called to do.”

The Bible and Borders

Theology

“Carroll asks, ‘In a world where over 270 million people are on the move, what does it mean to be the church?’ To address that urgent question, he invites us to turn to the pages of the Bible, pages that are full of stories of migrants, refugees, and exiles. Carroll expertly guides us through these rich and complex narratives and carefully explains Old Testament legislation about how people on the move are to be treated. In these difficult times of ours, when so many have turned to the Bible to support unjust laws, policies, and practices that oppress and discriminate against people on the move, this vitally important book belongs in the hands of everyone who wants to understand what the Bible really says about migration and how Christians are called by our faith to respond with compassion to these brothers and sisters of ours.”

The Book of Revelation

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“"Interpreters of the Revelation to John have often noted the importance of the liturgy as the context within which this work of early Christian prophecy was framed as oral performance. Heil's detailed study invites the reader to consider the ways in which the structure of the Apocalypse itself reflects its character (as prophecy pronounced in the context of early Christian worship that aimed to direct its earliest audiences away from false worship and towards exclusive allegiance to God and to the Lamb).”
