Immigration and Christian Ethics

What would a Christian approach to immigration look like? Too often, partisan narratives capture our attention, preventing nuanced conversation. Avoiding the extremes of both open borders and mass deportations, D. Glenn Butner Jr. draws on the Christian intellectual tradition to confront one of the most polarizing issues in the United States today. This timely and comprehensive volume covers · the rule of law and the right to enforce borders, · the complicated history of immigration policy in the United States, · economic causes of migration, · humanitarian immigration and asylum seekers, and · missionary work and borders. Butner delves into immigration law and incorporates illustrative stories to bring the issue to life. His thoughtful work will challenge students, ministry leaders, and any interested believer to pursue justice for native and naturalized Americans alike.
