Abstract
The epilogue addresses the contradictions in evangelicals’ current attitudes about refugees and immigrants. It explores diverging attitudes and responses to the 2015 refugee crisis as well as to the travel ban and the separation of families at the southern US border in the first years of the Trump presidency. Applying the book’s argument that politics has shaped evangelicals’ theology in their views on immigration, these divisions on immigration are placed in the context of other issues that have produced cracks in the evangelical movement, such as gun control or LGBTQ rights.
