Strangers and Scapegoats

In this thought-provoking book, Christian sociologist Matthew Vos explores how the concept of "the stranger" influences social divisions like racism, sexism, and nationalism. Applying classic sociological theory to faith and social justice issues, he highlights how embracing an identity in Christ can foster love and connection with strangers. The book also features guest chapters addressing intersex persons in the church and the concept of stranger-making within the correctional system.
