>> well, i don't speak in terms of biblical immigration, i speak in terms of our biblical mandate to think about immigrants not as issues but as persons. that doesn't mean that we're all going to agree on how to fix this problem, but it does mean that we do have a sense of needing to have compassion upon the people around us in our communities who are part of a broken system. >> and in fact am i right that you once said that jesus himself was an illegal immigrant? >> well, jesus himself had to be a refugee. he had to leave the land of israel to go into egypt to escape persecution, and many of the people who are in our country right now are escaping persecution of various kinds. we have cuban immigrants who are coming away from the repressive castro regime. we have others who are trying to escape from poverty and trying to feed their children. there are a thousand different reasons why the people among us are here. that doesn't mean everybody should be here or everybody needs to be here, and that's one of the reasons why immigration reform needs to be very tough in coming in and evalu

now, david is the young biblical hero who, against all the odds, manages to overcome the armed giantoliath, so david is the metaphor for the miraculous victory of right over might. so it's no surprise to us that florence should throughout its history have seen itself as a david among the city-states, maintained against its powerful enemies because of its righteousness. in 1873, the florentine city fathers decided to bring michelangelo's david indoors from the piazza della signoria here to this museum, the accademia. later a copy was put up on the site, but michelangelo's sculpture itself here was deprived of its original role as a civic guardian and was redefined more narrowly, more exclusively as a work of art. other sculptures by michelangelo were also gathered here as if to bring together a sort of secular shrine to the great florentine, but this historical happenstance gives us the opportunity to look at michelangelo from a different perspective, to look at his unfinished works, sculptures that he was forced to abandon for a variety of reasons entirely beyond his control. michela

, and that has portrayed to the public the idea of a kind of, of an idea of something, a kind of biblical fundamentalism or something behind intelligent design. that's really not what it is. an inference from bioroj call evidence -- biological evidence. >> host: now, stephen meyer, here on booktv we've talked with professors, religious professors, science professors who when we asked how long has man kind been on the earth, the answer was literally 6,000 years. is that an accurate answer? >> no. and it's also not with the theory of intelligent design. you're asking about the difference between intelligent design and creationism. there are two main differences. creationism is based system logically on its belief in the bible. its starting point is an interpretation of the genesis text, and then there's some kind of deduction from that to what we ought to see in the natural world. it's also an idea about the age of the earth, the particular interpretation of the genesis text that says that the earth is very recent, the universe is very young, and the theory of intelligent design is not a ne

of a belief in god and finally by the time you get to the presidency someone who believes in some biblical truth believes it in heaven and hell of the christian ethics and is still not clear who jesus is also close to a church from the moment he arrives now we call it evangelical he is not radically anti-jesus as he once was but the clear statement we have by the time his presidency was over is the second inaugural. guide it will heal the nation but nobody was in control of this. let me speak god's will to the nation. the conclusion of the matter is people want me to nail it down. why is he religiously? he is ever on the religious journey and that is interrupted. if i have on my christian had a theme he arrived at peace with christianity in a broad sense but is dollars and i cannot prove what i just said because we just don't know anybody that says he is like polygram overdoes it but abraham lincoln and it was said a fiesta's own speeches chisel the monuments does not say that. i brought you all this way to say i don't know but the journey is the thing. but it has been great being with you

have you seen any evidence that he approached it in a biblical or a new testament way, anything he said like either the definition of marriage or constraints of marriage or how you treat your spouse? and also would you, did you find anything to see whether that difficult marriage drove him closer to god or away, like how could you let that happen? >> it's a great question. did you see the movie? you didn't see the moviesome. >> not yet. >> it's one of the movies you have to see or, you know, you can't move on in life.

>> it sounds like his wife was very difficult at you see any evidence that he approached it in a biblical or new testament way or the definition were to have a particular spouse or anything that difficult marriage closer to god blackout could you let it happen? >> how could -- great question. did he see the movie? you have to see that or you cannot move on in life you will see an almost one of the scenes sally field dozen awesome portrayal is reaching a and furious it did not come the edge james dobson marriage they make peace and love each other and screaming and fight him blame each other allow one of the most beautiful statements is lincoln complaining that she was crazed in her grief portia's no evidence for anybody else even the children were squeezed out. titty genuinely believe them at the time he quoted them not in the beginning by in the end he.he just said maybe this will work because she is screaming like a wounded animal feeling -- filling the house with her grief later i think he was trying to comfort them with their face but we don't know enough about their private life if h

>> yeah, i open my book with -- i go back to the biblical story of david and goliath. in which, that are conventional interpretation. david is not guy suffering who pulls off this extraordinary upset. he is armed with the sling, the weapon heap h has is a devastat weapon. one of the most devastating in ancient warfare. a rock thrown from a sling has a stopping power e ququivalent t a a.45 caliber pistol. remember in "indiana jones" he pulls out his, that's exactly what david is doing. he is pulling out the sling in a sword fight. goliath is helpless. the big lumbering giant. he doesn't have a prayer. >> jimmy: his vision is not very good. >> the other thing. all this fascinating discussion among medical experts about the fact that goliath had a tumor on your pituitary gland which causes overproduction of human growth hormone which is why he is so tall. it constricts your optic nerves meaning your eyesight is restructed. goliath couldn't see much more than this in front of his face. he doesn't see david. in the biblical thing, he says, constantly saying come to me. what

. >> david and goliath, a biblical tale of how an underdog took on a giant. the titletalk of -- of malcolm gladwell's remarkable new book. i start by asking what he means we don't always understand advantages and disadvantages. >> a lot of times things we automatically assume we'll be bad for us turn now to have a so themplicated result, strange fact that the talk about ministers andime presidents have lost a parent when they were children. the idea is no good could come of it, but for a small group of people good did come out of it. they learn about their strengths and ability to respond to adversity. >> you take individual stories and make a broader, political point. >> a lot of the book is concerned with the ways we overestimate certain kinds of power and authority. about howtory expected advantages, being a powerful army in a small country next door did not turn out the way anybody expect it. britain had lots of troops and armored guards. it turned into a nightmare. is the intuitive idea of what to count as helpful and hurtful needs to be reimagined. >> y

the liberal might abandon the biblical truth but the legalist abandons biblical love. that makes the method equal to the message. the facility becomes equal to the fellowship of the church. there is artificial purity they claim is the truth. but truth is the way they do church more than the spirit with which they do it. it's a self-right shsness that focuses on self sin stead of a humble growth righteousness. for the fair sees, purity in faith is focused on external behavior. look, some people eat their soup louder than others but it doesn't mean the soup tastes better. legalism is declaring that the purity of conservism is based on a following of a particular personality or taking a specific tactical path way. the greatest threat is not from lib calls but from legalists in its ranks who would rather raise and spend vast amounts of money to defeat another republican than deteet a democrat. the indignation of those who elevate themselves because they can cause a train krek. we ought to ask if the purpose is to derail the train or to turn it around. derailing the train i
