An estimated twelve to fifteen million people now reside illegally in the United States, causing immigration in America to rise to a level of crisis. The political debate has been intense, as a divided America tries to consider the best course of action in dealing with illegal immigration and what laws should be passed. Christians are just as uncertain.
Having spent his first 16 years in Egypt with his parents as missionaries, James Hoffmeier is personally acquainted with the challenges of being alone, different, and a foreigner in an alien land. In The Immigration Crisis, Hoffmeier addresses this complex social issue from a biblical perspective. His new release combines Old Testament truth with archaeological and sociological studies to create a compelling case for how the Bible can shape the Christian perspective in considering the problem of legal and illegal immigrants as well as developing the implications for public policy.
“Read this book if you want to throw light on the subject of immigration and not merely more heat. Dr. Hoffmeier’s biblical exegesis gives us valuable perspective on national borders, guest workers, the difference between documented aliens and foreigners in Old Testament times, and many other matters.” —MARVIN OLASKY, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, WORLD MAGAZINE; PROVOST, THE KING’S COLLEGE, NEW YORK CITY
