Crosscurrents: Strangers or Neighbors? Jewish, Muslim, and Christian Perspectives on Refugees: Volume 67, Number 3, September 2017

CrossCurrents connects the wisdom of the heart with the life of the mind and the experiences of the body. The journal is operated through its parent organization, the Association for Public Religion and Intellectual Life (APRIL), an interreligious network of academics, activists, artists, and community leaders seeking to engage the many ways religion meets the public. Contributions to the journal exist at the nexus of religion, education, the arts, and social justice.
