The Bible and Immigration: A Nuanced Look at What Scripture Really Says
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
In this eye-opening episode, Monique and Krista sit down with Dr. Markus Zehnder, author of The Bible and Immigration, for a nuanced, Scripture-centered conversation on one of today's most divisive issues. Dr. Zehnder unpacks the biblical distinctions between the Hebrew terms "ger" and the "nokri," exposing how modern discussions often cherry-pick verses, ignore context, and collapse categories. The discussion explores assimilation, love for the stranger, individual compassion versus state policy, and why mass immigration today differs dramatically from ancient Israel's low-volume, high-integration reality.
