Strangers and Scapegoats: Extending God's Welcome to Those on the Margins
Sociology professor Matthew Vos illuminates how societal boundary-making and religious scapegoating marginalize vulnerable human beings. Combining rigorous sociological analysis with robust biblical reflection, Vos investigates alienation, prejudice, and criminalization, calling readers to overcome cultural polarization. This volume challenges the Christian community to embody radical hospitality, restorative justice, and compassionate neighbor-love.
