Some years ago
the noted US pastor,
theologian and writer Tim Keller wrote a
book called Generous Justice.
In
it,
citing Zechariah 7v10-11, he
highlights
a
‘quartet of
the vulnerable’
repeated throughout the Bible – ‘the widow,
the fatherless, the
immigrant... the poor.’
(He
translates
the Hebrew word gare as
‘immigrant’
rather
than
‘foreigner’
or
‘alien’ as is more common, saying it ‘more
accurately conveys to modern readers the
meaning of the word.’)
