Christian Theology in the Age of Migration - Implications for World Christianity

A pioneering study of how global migration challenges Christians to reinterpret the Old and New Testaments and church history by highlighting the impact of migration on the formation of the Bible and church historiography. It moves on to reformulate basic Christian beliefs (systematic theology), ethics, and practical theology.
