Refuge in the Lord is an outstanding work of scholarship that expands on the author's previous work, What They Wished For. In both books Lawrence J. McAndrews is masterful and authoritative in tracing the complex relationship between American Catholicism and presidential politics. It is not too much to say that McAndrews is now the foremost authority on this rich and complex topic. --Timothy Walch, author of Parish School: American Parochial Education from Colonial Times to the Present Scholars and policymakers owe a debt of gratitude to Lawrence McAndrews for Refuge in the Lord. This eye-opening, insightful study offers valuable lessons from the recent past about how Catholics and U.S. presidents have cooperated--and often clashed--about what constitutes a humane and just refugee and immigration policy. Readers of this book will develop a much more informed perspective on a complex, transnational issue that has surfaced as a top priority for political candidates and voters (nationally and globally) in the early twenty-first century. - --Thomas J. Carty, Springfield College A comprehensive, encyclopedic rendering of the topic that will make a great reference tool for anyone who wants to look up specific legislative efforts at immigration reform. - Timothy Matovina, University of Notre Dame --
