Description

Migrant God invites readers into the heart of immigrant justice activism, where Christians are translating hope into meaningful action. Traveling from Tijuana, Mexico, and Douglas, Arizona, through communities across North Carolina and beyond, Isaac Villegas transcends tired and familiar conversations about immigration, offering a fresh perspective that highlights authentic Christian solidarity among people with and without US citizenship. He develops a powerful, politically engaged, and theologically sophisticated vision of the beloved community.

At the core of the book are the transformative stories of individuals who have dedicated themselves to nurturing collective wholeness. Each chapter immerses readers directly into the tangible experiences on the front lines—protests unfolding in city streets, welcoming hospitality in migrant shelters, and communal meals shared in home kitchens. Villegas thoughtfully explores these experiences through biblical, theological, and political reflections, uncovering their profound significance for faith life and social realities.

Migrant God offers an engaging and insightful read for anyone wishing to move immigration debates toward a broader and more deeply Christian understanding—one marked by authentic solidarity and compassion with migrants.
