Christian Theology in the Age of Migration: Implications for World Christianity
Author: Peter Phan
January 1, 2020
This volume, edited by Berkley Center Faculty Fellow Peter Phan, investigates how migration impacts Christian theology and ethics. It begins with anthropological and sociological perspectives on the mutual impact between migration and Christianity, followed by a re-reading of certain events in the Hebrew scripture, the New Testament, and church history to highlight the central role of migration in the formation of Israel and Christianity. The next part studies how migration raises new issues for Christian ethics—from human dignity and human rights to ecological justice. The last part explores the implications of migration for issues such as liturgy and worship, spirituality, architecture, and education. The volume was published by Lexington Books in January 2020.
