Migrant God: A Christian Vision for Immigrant Justice

Migrant God takes readers to the front lines of immigrant justice activism where Christians are putting hope into action.

From Tijuana, Mexico, to Douglas, Arizona, across North Carolina and beyond, Isaac Villegas cuts a new path through worn-out talking points and bears witness to loving solidarity among Christians--both with and without US citizenship. Along the way, he offers a theologically astute and politically rich vision of beloved community.

Centering the stories of people who have been transformed through their dedication to the work of collective wholeness, Villegas begins each chapter "on the ground"--with protests in the streets, hospitality in migrant shelters, and shared meals in home kitchens. He then engages in biblical, theological, and political reflection to explore the significance--for our faith and our world--of these sites of collective work. Migrant God is a stirring read for anyone who wants to shift conversations about immigration toward a more holistic Christian vision of life lived in solidarity with migrants.
