Glanville and Luke Glanville offer a new approach to compassion for displaced people: a biblical ethic of kinship. God's people, they argue, are consistently called to extend kinship--a mutual responsibility and solidarity--to those who are marginalized and without a home. Drawingon their respective expertise in Old Testament studies and international relations, the two brothers engage a range of disciplines to demonstrate how this ethic is consistently conveyed throughout the Bible and can be practically embodied today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlanville and Glanville apply the kinship ethic to issues such as the current mission of the church, national identity and sovereignty, and possibilities for a cooperative global response to the refugee crisis. Challenging the fear-based ethic thatoften motivates Christian approaches, they envision a more generous, creative, and hopeful way forward. \u003ci\u003eRefuge Reimagined\u003c\/i\u003e will equip students, activists, and anyone interested in refugee issues to understand the biblical model for communities and how it can transform our world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLuke Glanville (PhD, University of Queensland) is associate professor in the department of international relations at Australian National University.
