Summary:

Practicing hospitality is central to building a civil society, not to mention living a Christian life. It can be enriching and joy-filled, but it can also be profoundly demanding and sometimes even dangerous. In The Limits of Hospitality, Jessica Wrobleski explores the ethical questions surrounding the practice of hospitality, particularly hospitality that is informed by Christian theological commitments.

Wrobleski offers a rich theological reflection that will interest anyone who has a role in the practice of hospitality in community-whether such communities are families, households, churches, educational institutions, or nation-states. Book jacket.
