Review


'To be a Christian is to base one's faith and theology on stories of migration and immigration. Reflecting on migration accounts occurring throughout the globe today, this book provides a rich analysis to the Christian faith and, in so doing, provides a corrective theology.' - Miguel A. De La Torre, Iliff School of Theology, University of Denver, USA
"This book is not only about the migration of people but the migration of theology. As it ventures beyond the established intellectual territories of European Christendom, it opens up new pathways for thinking about global mission and new avenues for responding to some of the world's most vulnerable people." Daniel G. Groody, University of Notre Dame
'Migration is central to the history of the Christian church locally, regionally, and globally. Today, the unprecedented scale of migration demands fresh and creative theological reflection for a rapidly changing world. Christianities in Migration features voices from every continent wrestling with the challenges that world migrations are bringing to Christian identity, ministry, and mission. We need volumes like this one to orient us in 'esta coyuntura histórica especial,' this special historical moment.' - M. Daniel Carroll R., Denver Seminary, USA
