Description
This episode features Part 2 of our conversation with Nick Pruitt. We continue our discussion of his recent book, Open Hearts, Closed Doors: Immigration Reform and the Waning of Mainline Protestantism. We talk about how the mainline Protestant relationship to immigration changes over the 20th century, how early 20th c. mainliners incorporated features both of the social gospel and fundamentalism, and about the history of Christian responses to refugee crises and immigration legislation.
