| Summary: | Foreword / by Robert Schreiter -- Introduction: Migration as a locus for theological reflection -- Migration and social justice. Living on the edge: migration, globalization, and the unskilled worker ; Old challenges, new contexts, and strategies: the experience of migrant women ; Citizen-disciples: an ethical roadmap for migration reform -- Migration and religious experience. Journeying (together) in faith: migration, religion, and mission ; Toward an intercultural church: migration and inculturation ; A pilgrim people: migration and spirituality -- Conclusion: One bread, one body, one people The often conflicting and tragic nature of contemporary global migration makes a compelling case for theological reflection. Cruz explores the problems and possibilities that the experience of migrants brings to Christian theology by reflecting on the religious dimension as well as the social justice implications of the migrant experience. More specifically, she reflects on the Christian vision of "one bread, one body, one people" in view of the gifts and challenges of contemporary global migration to Christian systematic theology, social ethics, spirituality, mission, ministry, and inculturation based on the experience of refugees, unauthorized poor migrants, migrant workers, and migrant women |
