- Double-weighted statement
- This monograph represents research that stretched from 2009 to 2017, bringing together theology and immigration law in approximately 120,000 words. The work deals with three major shifts in US immigration law, the defining of the alien, sovereignty, and non-discrimination in immigration admissions. These three shifts correspond to three major concepts in Christian theology, belonging, authority, and justice. Any one of these three concepts would have merited treatment of at least the length of one article, and so we propose this book merits double-weighting.
