Описание книги

Immigration has in recent years become a hotly contested subject in public political and social discussions. Both in Europe and America, there is increased polarization, confusion, and anxiety about how to handle this challenging phenomenon. What has not been adequately discussed during these debates, however, is the influence of immigration on religion in the host countries. The increase in the number of Moslem immigrants in the West has been raised in some publications. However, this book is among the first to examine the impact of immigration on the Christian faith from a biblical perspective.
The fact is, in many Western countries today, the future of Christianity is progressively becoming dependent on immigration. Is there any biblical perspective to the phenomenon? What should be the response of Christians to the debate? And how should Christian immigrants themselves interpret their experiences in the light of the Word of God? Asumang examines the lives and experiences of the giants of the Bible to answer these questions. And his conclusions are insightful and challenging both to immigrant and non-immigrant Christians alike.

Reflections on Immigration as a Metaphor of Christian Discipleship

Annang Asumang

The most profound and detailed story of immigration in the Bible is that of the people of Israel. While they suffered under the cruel tyranny of the Egyptians, God heard their cry for deliverance and in His own time, delivered them. Their forty years of wilderness travel was however, a mixture of the positive and the negative. There, they experienced both the power and presence of God to prepare them as His people. During the same time they experienced periods of intense testing of their faith. All immigrants, real or metaphorical, share this experience of testing and preparation with the people of Israel in the wilderness.

The Old Testament also describes the exploits of migrant women such as Sarah, Rahab, Ruth and Esther, to name but a few. These migrant women brought tremendous blessings to generations after them through their persistence and faithfulness. Ruth was the typical Gentile, who rejected her roots in order to follow Jehovah and share the heritage of God’s people. Esther may have thought she was in an impossible situation in exile. That is, until God’s time came, when she realized that she had been placed where she was at that particular time for a specific purpose in keeping with Jehovah’s kingdom.
