Every tribe and tongue

Every tribe and tongue offers a way, first, to rediscover biblical stories and principles that relate to questions about immigration and societal multilingualism, and, second, to outline possible ways to guide thoughtful engagement in the discourse on the "public square" based on the biblical witness. The authors will try to show that, far from being an afterthought in the Bible, the call to love our neighbors and to gather people together in the worship of God is at the very core of the gospel message. Second, this book is dedicated to calling the North American church to take seriously its charge not simply to love the "stranger and alien" but to live as "strangers and aliens" within the American nation to which it has been called to witness to Jesus Christ.
