Overview
What you will study
The Migration, the Bible and Theological Ethics course offered by University of Oxford will begin with looking at how Hebrew and Christian Scriptures describe and narrate migration. In a time when migrants are seen as threats or competitors, we will look at accounts of migrants as those whom God loves and as those who bring blessing.
Next, we will encounter texts that present God’s people, Israel and the church, as strangers and wanderers. Texts considered may include Deuteronomy, Ruth, Nehemiah, Luke, 1 Corinthians and 1 Peter.
Along the way, the group will explore common legal categories of migrants today, including asylum seekers, refugees, workers, family members and students. In addition, we will think about geographical borders in light of Christian theology.Finally, we will consider Christian practices and questions of ethics related to migration, including sanctuary movements, hospitality and mission to the Global North.
