Borderland Religion examines diverse religious issues surrounding external national borders and internal domestic borders as these are challenged by the unstoppable flow of documented and undocumented migrants. The study looks at a number of empirical studies in Africa, the US and Europe and how emergent religious practices arise around border crossings. One theme throughout these case studies is the contradiction between the religious universalism of Pauline Christianity and the exclusionary thrust of national sovereignty. Contributions from sociologists, religious studies scholars, theologians and political scientists ensure a wide analysis of this highly topical situation.
