Abstract

This contribution analyses how theological ethics deal with migration and integration as future topics of global relevance. It points out that it is prudent for society, theology and the churches to come to terms with these topics, and also shows their anthropological implications. Migration is considered an existential issue and visible manifestation of human vulnerability. Noting the abundance of motifs of migration in biblical texts, this essay suggests that in view of the social challenges ethics adopt a self-critical and modest attitude which respects individual life histories.
