From the rear cover

"Combines top-notch scholarly analysis with a pastoral heart"

Following the release of his book Christians at the Border, M. Daniel Carroll R. (Rodas) spent the next decade continuing to speak and write about immigration. The Bible and Borders sharpens Carroll's focus and refines his argument to make sure we hear clearly what the Bible says about one of the most pressing issues of our day.

"The great virtue of this book is the gift of a simple and compelling argument. Carroll teaches us that immigrants are first and foremost human beings with biblical dignity rather than political objects of modern ideologies and patriotic narratives. The Bible and Borders is a candid invitation to reconsider our biblical grounds as we all seek to become faithful disciples of the reign of God in a challenging world."
--Oscar Garca-Johnson, Fuller Theological Seminary

"Carroll has long provided an authoritative, biblical perspective on issues of immigration. In The Bible and Borders, he combines top-notch scholarly analysis with a pastoral heart to provide a concise yet thorough review of how the Scriptures should inform a distinctly Christian approach to this complex issue. Allow this book--and the Scriptures it points to--to form your heart and mind as you consider how to respond to the immigrants within your community."
--Matthew Soerens, US director of church mobilization, World Relief; national coordinator, Evangelical Immigration Table

"I have been using Christians at the Border in my own college classroom teaching and in congregational workshops on immigration for the past decade. While Carroll's biblical interpretation is nuanced and complex, his writing style is easily accessible for wide audiences. The Bible and Borders is an excellent, biblically grounded book that can help all Christians think more critically and compassionately about our immigration crisis today."
--Julia Lambert Fogg, California Lutheran University
