On the one hand, welcoming the stranger by remembering ?that you were strangers in the land of Egypt? is enjoined upon the ancient Israelites, and on the other, oppressing the stranger is condemned by their prophets throughout the Hebrew Bible.These sentiments are repeated in the New Testament and the Qur?an and elaborated in the interpretive literatures of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Such notions resonate obliquely within the history of India and its Dharmic traditions. On the other hand, they have been seriously challenged throughout history. In the 1830s, America?s ?Nativists? sought to emphatically reduce immigra­tion to these shores. A century later, the Holocaust began by the decision of the Nazi German government to turn specific groups of German citizens into strangers. Deliberate marginalization leading to genocide flourished in the next half century from Bosnia and Cambodia to Rwanda. In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the United States renewed a decisive twist toward closing the door on those seeking refuge, ushering in an era where marginalized religious and ethnic groups around the globe are deemed unwelcome and unwanted.The essays in Welcoming the Stranger explore these issues from historical, theoretical, theo­logical, and practical perspectives, offering an enlightening and compelling discussion of what the Abrahamic traditions teach us regarding welcoming people we don?t know.Welcoming the Stranger: Abrahamic Hospitality and Its Contemporary Implications is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.Published by The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art and the Fordham University Institute on Religion, Law and Lawyer?s Work 606 $aOther (Philosophy) in the Bible 606 $aOther (Philosophy)$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aOther (Philosophy)$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aOther (Philosophy)$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aStrangers in the Bible 606 $aStrangers$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aStrangers$xReligious aspects$xIslam 606 $aStrangers$xReligious aspects$xJudaism 606 $aRELIGION / Ethics$2bisacsh 610 $aAbraham. 610 $aart. 610 $ahospitality. 610 $aimmigrants. 610 $alaw. 610 $arefugees. 610 $arepairing the world. 610 $atheology and politics. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy) in the Bible. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy)$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy)$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy)$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 0$aStrangers in the Bible. 615 0$aStrangers$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aStrangers$xReligious aspects$xIslam. 615 0$aStrangers$xReligious aspects$xJudaism. 615 7$aRELIGION / Ethics. 676 $a221.6 700 $aSoltes$b Ori Z$01726094 701 $aStern$b Rachel$01735106 701 $aMoraes$b Endy$01735107 701 $aBalfour$b Lindsay$01735108 701 $aMassaro$b Thomas$01735109 701 $aMousin$b Craig$01735110 701 $aPrendergast$b Carol$01735111 701 $aSaritotprak$b Zeki$01735112 701 $aTsankov$b Mimi E$01735113 701 $aMohi-Ud-Din$b Mohsin$01735114 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996589771903316 996 $aWelcoming the Stranger$94154129 997 $aUNISA
