- Summary:
- Leading US theologian Myers and Colwell, a Presbyterian minister in southern California, offer a theological and ecclesial reflection on migrant ministry in the North American context. In alternating chapters, Meyers provides biblical perspectives on issues germane to the moral terrain of the immigration question, and Colwell profiles exemplary practitioners of immigrant justice in the US and Latin America. Among the topics are sanctuary and prophetic hospitality, Amalia Molina proclaiming liberty to the captives, gospel nativities verses anti-immigrant nativism, and Robert Martinez defending human rights in the borderlands.
