Reviews
"Contemporary Issues of Migration and Theology is a significant volume of theological essays on crucial facets of migration, which is one of the major consequences of globalization. This volume is unique in presenting a wealth of much-needed theological analyses on the exceedingly complex phenomenon of contemporary migration, with its attendant reconstitution and redefinition of spaces and theopolitical implications for a global outlook." - Namsoon Kang, Professor of World Christianity and Religions, Brite Divinity School, TCU, USA, Author of Cosmopolitan Theology
"Elaine Padilla and Peter C. Phan have gathered a collection of perspectives on the enormous impact that immigration is having on the field of theology today. These essays demonstrate that Eurocentric assumptions of truth and method are increasingly becoming associated with white dominance, and that Christian theologians ignore the 'dogmatic' centrality of immigration at their own risk." - Orlando Espin, Professor, Theology and Religious Studies, University of San Diego, USA
"This volume's breadth of important topics, insightful analyses, and leading practitioner scholars distinguish it as a landmark work. I highly recommend it!" - Timothy Matovina, Professor of Theology and Executive Director of the Institute for Latino Studies, University of Notre Dame, USA
