Religious Identity and Cultural Negotiation

Theology

“Dr. Jenny McGill notes that one in thirty-five of us will identify as a migrant at some point in our lives, making this work highly relevant for our increasingly migratory and global society. She masterfully integrates philosophical, theological, and psychological insights on identity development in her study of evangelical seminarians who have studied abroad - but she doesn't stop there. Migration becomes, for her, a metaphor of any Christian's growth in Christ. This is an insightful and helpful read for those of us working with international populations in non-profits, churches, and education, or anyone who desires to glean wisdom on Christian identity development through the metaphor of migration.”
