With so many people around the globe migrating, how should Christians and the church respond? Leading Latino-American biblical scholar M. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas) helps readers understand what the Bible says about immigration, offering accessible, nuanced, and sympathetic guidance for the church. After two successful editions of Christians at the Border, and having talked and written about immigration over the past decade, Carroll has sharpened his focus and refined his argument to make sure we hear clearly what the Bible says about one of the most pressing issues of our day. He has reworked the biblical material, adding insights and broadening the frame of reference beyond the US. As Carroll explores the surprising amount of material in the Old and New Testaments that deals with migration, he shows how this topic is fundamental to the message of the Bible and how it affects our understanding of God and the mission of the church.

Whether implicitly or explicitly, borders have always harboured profound theological meaning. The border is, on the one hand, an instrument to establish an identity by demarcating oneself from others, but, on the other hand, it can also be experienced as a possibility of exchange. From an anthropological point of view, it is both a limitation and a starting point. Because of this ambiguity, particular attention must be paid to the fragility of those who live “on the margins”, or “in magical territories” (Gloria Andalzua). Moreover, in our time, we observe a profound change in the existential experience of the “border”. The reasons are many: problems related to climate change, access to clean water and air, differences in development and economic and financial resources, political instability and violence are pushing more and more people around the world to cross borders. This crossing could be the figure of a new humanity and a new cohabitation, in which the religious and spiritual resources of each person and each group can have their own role. As a result, theology is deeply involved in this reflection, but it must engage in dialogue with other disciplines--Excerpted from Editorial, page 7.

The church, like many ethnic immigrants, has been thrown into the "melting pot" that is America. To some this melting pot is a place where different cultures and races merge to form an integrated society, but Mark Griffin and Theron Walker argue that it's a place where communal traditions are traded in for consumer choices. The result is a homogeneous culture of consumption. As fellow ingredients of this melting pot, Christians have much to learn from ethnic immigrants about what it means to be outsiders. Bringing to light the work of some of America's finest first- and second-generation immigrant writers, the authors show that life on the borders of the ghetto and the culture of consumption promises freedom, peace, and justice.

It's a simple claim, really - that for Christians, "being a Christian" should be their primary allegiance and identity. For those who proclaim Jesus as Lord, this identity should supersede all others, and this loyalty should trump all lesser ones. It may be a simple claim, but it is a controversial one for many people, Christians and non-Christians alike. The Borders of Baptism uses the idea of solidarity among Christians as a lens through which to view politics, economics, and culture. It offers Christians a fresh perspective capable of moving beyond sterile and dead-end debates typical of debates on issues ranging from immigration and race to war, peace, and globalization. The Borders of Baptism invites Christians of all traditions to reflect on the theological and political implications of first "being a Christian" in a world of rival loyalties. It invites readers to see what it might mean to be members of a community broader than the largest nation-state; more pluralistic than any culture in the world; more deeply rooted in the lives of the poor and marginalized than any revolutionary movement; and more capable of exemplifying the notion of ;e pluribus unum' than any empire past, present, or future.

COVID-19 has impacted the way we see the world and the way we view spirituality; in times of crisis, people turn or return to religion or spirituality. Most of the South African population identifies as Christian. This brings to the fore what is meant by “spirituality” in a country crippled by the remains of apartheid structure, rampant corruption, poverty, and various systemic problems. Overall, there is a lack of scholarship investigating “spirituality” and “spirituality studies” from the global South. This book aims to bridge the gap. New avenues are investigated of thinking about God in difficult circumstances, as ideologies of hope and prosperity are reshaped. This book links text and context, spirituality and material culture, self and society, the analogue and the digital, contemplation and action, saying and unsaying; in short, the question of experiencing God in both everything and nothingness comes under the scope of this book.

This book is a political and theological reflection on the violence and injustice that has taken place in Mexico and Central America since 2006 as a result of the drug war. In order to understand and respond to this conflict in the age of globalization, William A. Walker III combines the work of philosopher Enrique Dussel and theologian Hans Urs von Balthasar to develop a theology of the drug war that transcends both a Eurocentric conception of the world and a merely political account of salvation. Walker also highlights examples of Christian and church-based approaches to practicing neighborliness and resistance to drug trade-related violence, challenging both Christians and non-Christians to participate in the creation of a more just and merciful society.
