God Is Stranger

With huge marches in central London, demonstrations outside asylum hotels and opinion polls showing that immigration is one of the most important electoral issues for the majority of the population, churches and individual Christians are grappling with how to respond.

The call to recognise God in the stranger has never been more relevant.

God Is Stranger strips us of our comfortable assumptions about God and invites us to look afresh at his character. When Abraham welcomes three men for dinner, he ends up pleading for the life of a city. When Jacob meets God by the river, they end up in a fight. And when two forlorn disciples meet a stranger on the road, their lives are turned upside down. God Is Stranger challenges us to lay down our expectations of God and delight in the power that is proven by his very strangeness.
