Theology of Migration in the Abrahamic Religions is the second volume of the series Theology and Migration in World Christianity: Contextual Perspectives. It presents the theologies of migration proposed by Judaism, various Christian churches and denominations, and Islam. Sandwiched between theological considerations on migration as homecoming to God and as a plural journeying into divine self-disclosure, the nine essays on Jewish, Christian and Islamic theologies of migration, each drawing on its own tradition, discuss God's nature and ways of acting in the world, human responses to this migrant God, and the ethical, spiritual and aesthetic challenges posed by the contemporary "Age of Migration." Migration turns out to be not just a transitory phenomenon to be investigated by the social sciences but a fundamental human and religious way of living in God's world.
