Abstract

Taking the bibliographical survey Migrazioni e scienze teologiche published in 2009 by the CSERPE of Basilea as a reference point and limiting the research to the last 15 years, this study aims at exploring the journey covered by biblical studies in analyzing the theme of the stranger and other themes related to the experience of migration. After having gone through the bibliographical review to give a general idea of the commitment expressed in the biblical field regarding these themes and having recalled some essential methodological notes for a contextual reading of the Bible, the essay gets to the heart of the matter underlining the liveliness of the biblical witness. Some windows on the bibliographical review or on some more significant publications might urge a supplement of reflection, suggest paths for in-depth analysis or simply intrigue the reader.
