In this episode, Brad interviews Dr. Yii-Jan Lin, Associate Professor of New Testament at Yale Divinity School, about her book 'Immigration and Apocalypse: How the Book of Revelation Shaped American Immigration.' They discuss the historical and enduring influence of biblical metaphors, such as the 'city on a hill' and the 'new Jerusalem,' on American identity and immigration policies. The conversation spans from Ronald Reagan's farewell address to the formation of the Border Patrol and the symbolism behind the border wall, culminating in insights about the exclusionary rhetoric expected in the upcoming second Trump term. The episode also touches on the historical context of Chinese exclusion and the problematic aspects of apocalyptic literature used in justifying modern immigration policies.
