Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education | Santa Clara University Bannan Institute 2012-13: Sacred Text in the Public Sphere The Hebrew and Christian scriptures are replete with examples of persons and families uprooted and migrating. The sacred texts' injunctions about hospitality to strangers do not readily resolve complex questions about competing goods driving contemporary immigration debates. Scriptures do have a key role to play in shaping our dispositions, imagination and moral reasoning. The lecture will explore the potential for scriptural narratives and themes to reveal migrant realities anew and inform an ethic of immigration.
