Yi-Jan Lin

Dr. Yi-Jan Lin, an Associate Professor of New Testament at Yale Divinity School and author of 'Immigration and Apocalypse,' discusses how biblical imagery shapes U.S. immigration policy. She explores the metaphor of America as a 'shining city on a hill' and its roots in exclusionary practices, such as the Border Patrol's formation. The conversation highlights troubling themes from the Book of Revelation, connecting them to contemporary political rhetoric. Lin challenges listeners to reconsider the implications of these narratives on marginalized communities.
