Description
Because nationalism is on the rise around the world, how we treat strangers has become a prominent political, economic, and religious issue. Drawing on his personal experiences and expertise as a biblical scholar, Mark Hamilton argues that Scripture describes God's people as strangers who are called to show grace and hospitality to others. In a world in which 240 million people are voluntary immigrants and another 60 to 70 million are refugees, the urgency of the church's recovery of its fundamental language on immigration remains vital.
