Christian hospitality and Muslim immigration in an age of fear
Book Description
In an era marked by rising tensions and polarized debates, millions of Muslims have made new homes across Europe and North America over the past five decades. This migration has sparked intense public conversations touching everything from religious liberty and security concerns to questions of gender, race, and cultural integration.
Theologian and ethicist Matthew Kaemingk steps into this complex landscape with a distinctive Christian perspective that refuses easy answers. Rather than retreating into fearful nationalism or embracing uncritical multiculturalism, he charts a thoughtful middle path through what he calls Christian pluralism.
This approach holds two seemingly opposing commitments in creative tension: maintaining deep roots in historic Christian faith while simultaneously championing the public rights, dignity, and freedom of Muslim communities. Kaemingk's framework challenges readers to move beyond reactive positions toward a more nuanced understanding of how faith communities can coexist with both integrity and mutual respect.
For Christians grappling with how to respond faithfully to religious diversity in their neighborhoods, this work offers practical wisdom rooted in theological reflection. The book addresses real-world questions about hospitality, mission, and public engagement while avoiding both the extremes of hostility and naive romanticism.
Spanning 338 pages, this exploration invites readers into deeper reflection on what authentic Christian witness looks like in our increasingly diverse societies.
