This book provides an indispensable voice in the scholarly conversation on migration. It shows how migration has shaped and has been shaped by the three Abrahamic religions - -Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. No theory of migration will be complete unless the theological insights of these religions are seriously taken into account.This book provides an indispensable voice in the scholarly conversation on migration.

"In an age when so many millions of people have been displaced by war, economic and climate catastrophe, and criminals taking over entire nations, this book could hardly be more timely. Its authors bring into relief the rich traditions of the three Abrahamic faiths in order to erect a spiritual and theological foundation for those who seek to open the minds and hearts of peoples and nations that are given the opportunity to welcome immigrants. They have given us a marvelous resource to use in classrooms, churches, and study groups." - William R. Burrows , Senior Fellow, Andrew Walls Center for the Study of Christianity in Africa and Asia, Liverpool Hope University, UK
