Migrant Spirituality: Correlating the Narratives of African Migrants to the USA and the Dark Night of John of the Cross (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783643913999)

Migrant Spirituality makes visible the migration stories of African-born migrants to the USA, analyzes their experiences, and appreciates them as a source for theological reflection. The correlation of these narratives with John of the Cross' narrative of The Dark Night reveals that the dynamic between the concepts of vulnerability, spiritual humility, and God's transformative agency is central to understanding the spiritual dimension of the process of transformation in both narratives.
