Episode #248 - Immigration and Apocalypse with Dr. Yii-Jan Lin

 In this episode we’re joined by Dr. Yii-Jan Lin, who is Associate Professor of New Testament at Yale Divinity School and the author of the forthcoming book,  Immigration and Apocalypse: How the Book of Revelation Shaped American Immigration (with Yale University Press). Over the course of our conversation we discuss the conflation of America with the New Jerusalem in political rhetoric, and the implications that has for how some conservative politicians talk about immigration. We discuss pressing issues with immigration in America, our respective family experiences with immigration, and why we should not read Revelation. Team members on the episode from The Two Cities include: The Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Adishian, Dr. John Anthony Dunne, Dr. Grace Emmett, and the Rev. Dr. Chris Porter.
