"Home Away from Home explores how Caribbean diasporan people understand themselves in light of their faith in Jesus Christ, Taking the Caribbean diasporan experience as a source for theological discourse, the book argues that the faith Caribbean people brought with them into the diaspora plays a central role in their development." "The study identifies three forms of Caribbean diasporan identity, provides a theological interpretation of the diasporan experience, delineates the foundational theological principles, traces the patterns of and proposes the distinctives of the Caribbean diasporan church and thus, offers a Caribbean diasporan ecclesiology."--Jacket.
