Welcoming immigrants, from Genesis to Pope Leo XIV
If you are thinking seriously about immigration, or about the Lord's command to welcome strangers, you should take the time to see what I offer. Regarding the OT, NT, Fathers, history of the Catholic Church, and Magisterial teaching, I offer insights that you will not find elsewhere (yet).
If you are serious about Catholic thought, you may be familiar with Prof. Peter Kreeft, from Boston College. He's been teaching for decades, and it doesn't happen often that he reads someone's work and changes his mind about a major issue. My writing is an exception, he says. My work changed his thinking about immigration.
I'm not a scholar. But I think that I have built a resource that any Christian who cares about immigrants might find useful. It's seven short and accessible books, about immigration from Genesis through scripture and Catholic tradition to Pope Leo.
The books in the McGivney’s Guests series are available in paperback (prices vary), Kindle ($3 apiece), or in google docs (free). The free online version is for people who should read it but can’t afford it. If you can afford it, perhaps you could buy it. But no one is checking.
