St. Thomas Aquinas on Christian Politics and Immigration.

Details

We are going to talk about a text of medival Christian political theory in which St. Thomas defends the use of the Bible as a source of political theory. Even though the politics of the Biblical characters differs significantly from that of his own time, he explains here that it's still a good source of wisdom, especially when supplemented by Aristotle. He then applies this political philosophy to immigration and slavery.

Here's the link to the text:
