Heaven Has a Wall:

Religion, Borders, and the Global United States

University of Chicago Press 2025

“Heaven may have a wall, but this book has no guardrails. Crashing borders of nation-states, legal frameworks, and disciplinary categories, Heaven Has a Wall is grounded by telling examples and provocative interludes. It will certainly find a place on my next religion and law syllabus.” -Spencer Dew, Ohio State
