When televangelists declare, \"Heaven has a wall,\" activists shout back, \"Jesus was a refugee.\" For Elizabeth Shakman Hurd, the standoff makes explicit a longstanding truth: borders are religious as well as political objects. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In this book, Hurd argues that Americans share a bipartisan border religion, complete with an array of beliefs and practices, including a reverence for national security, a liturgy for immigration, and an eschatological foreign policy. Through an analysis of the many ways the United States creates, enforces, and ignores borders at home and abroad, Hurd offers a bold new perspective on the ties that bind American religion, politics, and public life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Shakman Hurd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226841189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226841182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Elizabeth Shakman Hurd","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46767081816319,"sku":"9780226841182","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7456d113-e680-4700-8a79-e12d228642ba.jpg?v=1744168817","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/heaven-has-a-wall-elizabeth-shakman-hurd-9780226841182","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
