Evangelical Christians in the United States today are known for their hard-line, restrictive approach to immigration and refugees insofar that means welcoming immigrants and refugees into the country. This book shows that this has not always been the case and is, in fact, a relatively newposition. The history of evangelical involvement with refugees and immigrants has been overlooked in the current debate. Since the early 1960s, evangelical Christians have been integral players in US immigration and refugee policy. Motivated by Biblical teachings to "welcome the stranger," they havehelped tens of thousands of newcomers by acting as refugee sponsors or providing legalization assistance to undocumented immigrants. Until the 1990s, many evangelicals did not distinguish between documented and undocumented newcomers - all were to be loved and welcomed. In the last decade of thetwentieth century, however, a growing anti-immigrant consensus in American society grew alongside evangelicals' political alignment with the Republican Party, leading to a rethinking of their theology. Following the GOP's lead, evangelicals increasingly emphasized the need to obey American law, which many argued undocumented immigrants failed to do. Today, the evangelical movement is more divided than ever about immigration policy. While conservative evangelicals are often immigration hard-liners, many progressive and Latinx evangelicals hope to convince their fellow evangelicals to take a more welcoming approach. The Strangers in Our Midst argues that the key to understanding evangelicals' divided approaches to immigration is to look at both their theology and their politics. Both of whichhave shaped how-and especially to whom-they extend their Biblical values of hospitality. | The Strangers in Our Midst by Ulrike Elisabeth Stockhausen, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
