What Does the Bible Say about Strangers, Migrants and Refugees

This book is compelling, informative, and challenging. Nguyễn addresses several of the tragic examples of rootlessness in today's world and thoughtfully describes the plight of the victims of such evils. He draws parallels with comparable situations found within the biblical story and then underscores how that same religious tradition called God's people in the past and us in the present to remedy such evils. This informative book lends itself to serious personal reflection as well as challenging group discussion. Dianne Bergant, CSA, Distinguished Professor Emerita of Old Testament Studies, Catholic Theological Union
