God's Heart for Immigrants & Refugees: A Biblical Ethic of Kinship - Dr. Mark & Dr. Luke Glanville

Dr. Mark R. Glanville and Dr. Luke Glanville talk with us about their new book "Refuge Reimagined: Biblical Kinship in Global Politics."

They discuss Biblical passages dealing with marginalized and displaced people and God's command to extend kinship, compassion and love to hurting communities

They also address arguments from those who want closed borders and stricter immigration policies due to ways immigrations might impact on economics, national security and culture. You can learn more about their awesome new book here:
