Zusammenfassung:In our common human experience, as well as in the biblical narratives, people migrate in order to find a better life. This article explores first of all how the theme of migration is used in the Letter to the Hebrews as an image of the journey of faith towards fullness of life. A second section will focus on Philo and Origen as they articulate aspects of spiritual migration at a more philosophical level, and as such laid the foundations for an important theme in Christian spirituality: migration as a divine-human venture in which human persons actively appropriate the gift of divine wisdom into their lives under divine guidance.
