New article with CASE magazine: Laws of Inclusion and Strategies of Exclusion
CASE magazine has just published my article, 'Laws of Inclusion and Strategies of Exclusion: New Australian Asylum Seeker Policy
Under the Scrutiny of Deuteronomy.' (3,500 words) It is an extensive discussion both of Australian asylum seeker policy and biblical ethics relating to 'the stranger'. I hope that, for readers in any country, the article provides a clear exposition of the biblical ethic of radical welcome. Due to the import of this topic, I would appreciate your considering sharing this post - esp. Aussie readers. Thank you.
