What do ripe peaches, well-painted homes, interesting history lectures, challenging exams, thoughtful Sunday school lessons, contented grandchildren, and happy neighbors tell us about God and immigration?

Dr. Ruth Melkonian-Hoover is a professor in the Political Science Department at Gordon College. She graduated from Biola University before earning her M.A. and Ph.D. from Emory University. With Lyman Kellstedt, she co-authored Evangelicals and Immigration: Fault Lines Among the Faithful (2019).
