This book helps push the envelope on our traditional notions of hospitality. The chapters on a variety of cultural subjects push us to consider hospitality in a very realistic and concrete- neither romanticizing or dismissing the profundity of hospitality itself.

I was especially interested to read the concrete proposals. Some of these were somewhat perfunctory, but then, this is a cultural and theological study. The author would likely encourage me to do my own homework- read her reflections and then apply them in context.

I highly recommend this book. Like so much of what is coming out of Brazos Press these days, it is exemplary in its exploration of systematic theology in its practical dimensions.
