Rezensionen

"The authors' scholarly expertise in the academic field of religion and politics is evident in their careful and informative conceptualization of evangelical identity, beliefs, and behavior. ... There is no doubt that Melkonian- Hoover and Kellstadt have produced a very thoughtful deep dive into evangelical policy attitudes. Their expertise and tenacious approach to a huge amount of data makes Evangelicals and Immigration an essential resource for those interested in religion, race, and politics." (Janelle Wong, Sociology of Religion, Vol. 80 (4), 2019)

"As national debates over issues like border walls, Dreamers and asylum continue, Evangelicals and Immigration is a helpful text for anyone seeking to better understand the important role evangelicals play in these debates." (Napp Nazworth, The Christian Post, christianpost.com, January 17, 2019)
