Episode notes
Politics Shapes Biblical Claims
- Dan Miller argues conservative Christian claims of 'just following the Bible' mask political and racial motives.
- He says positions on race and immigration reflect being conservative and white more than careful biblical exegesis.
Impartiality Versus Biblical Partiality
- Stuckey claims the Bible's hallmark on justice is impartiality and not playing favorites.
- Miller counters that many biblical passages actually show God's partiality toward the poor and marginalized.
Level Playing Field Is A Myth
- Miller uses a cheating-football analogy to show why 'treat everyone the same now' doesn't fix past injustices.
- He argues remedies must address lingering effects, not just future impartial treatment.
