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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese 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 immigra-tion 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe essays in \u003ci\u003eWelcoming the Stranger \u003c\/i\u003eexplore these issues from historical, theoretical, theo-logical, and practical perspectives, offering an enlightening and compelling discussion of what the Abrahamic traditions teach us regarding welcoming people we don't know. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWelcoming the Stranger: Abrahamic Hospitality and Its Contemporary Implications \u003ci\u003eis available from the publisher on an open-access basis.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished by The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art and the Fordham University Institute on Religion, Law and Lawyer's Work\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ori Z.
